Poipu Beach

Our plan to go to Ke’e beach, the last (or maybe the first?) beach on the North Shore was spoiled as the remote key for the car stopped working. And we could not find the button to open the trunk from the inside. So we went to the car rental office and got the spare key… And found out how to open the trunk from the inside. Too late now.

Instead of going North we went to Borders bookshop, Longs Drugs, and to Big Save in Koloa. We also stopped by the post office in Lihue to buy stamps and post some post cards.

After that it was time to hit the beach. But not North. It is an hours ride at least. Since most of the morning was already gone and we had groceries in the car we first went home before going to a beach close by, Poipu beach.

Despite our trouble with the car we were lucky. On the beach was a giant sea turtle sun bathing (on the same spot as the Monk seals some days ago). And a few in the water eating as well. It is so fun to see them. So beautiful and gracious in the water and so clumsy and slow on land.

We spent the whole afternoon until almost 6 pm before returning home. Where we had bacon and tomato sauce pasta with salad for dinner.
