Our last day at Kauai. We spent it at out favorite beach, Kiahuna. Before going there we stopped at the Poipu Village Center to buy sunscreen. We run out yesterday. We manage to buy that and some other things from Life is Good.

At Kiahuna had non-stop fun in the water. It has since we arrived gotten warmer and warmer for each day. Today was 29 degrees (Celsius) and quite warm in the water too.

When we were not in the water we talked some and read a lot. And Chie had a Mai Tai. Along with the Mai Tai she also got a free of charge Pina Colada – I think the guy in the bar likes her 😉

After 5 pm we left the beach and headed for Koloa Town. First stop was to fill up the gas in the car. Then to buy some dinner. Same place as yesterday, but this time we bought fish. So so.

We decided to try the Lydgate park beach today. But once we got there it was, as always, a lot of kids and a lot of people. So we changed our mind and continued north for about20-30 more minutes. And stopped at the Moloa bay again.

It was a beautiful day with mainly blue sky until late afternoon when it got cloudy. We had prepared edamame (soy beans) and egg sandwich for lunch.

Around 5 pm we left Moloa bay and headed for Wal Mart in Lihue. To buy Hawaiian chocolate and Macadamia nuts. And Kona coffee.

We continued home after that. Stopping only to buy sashimi and teri steak for dinner.

We spent another wonderful day at the Kiahuna beach today. Mostly reading and playing in the sea. And, of course, having lunch picnic. Today it was salad with sausage.

In the evening we BBQed kalbi. The dinner we had planned for yesterday evening, but then the grill was out of gas. Tonight it was not.

Started the day with a 45 minutes run along the coast line from Poipu towards Gillin’s beach. It’s the second time I did this during this vacation and it was as beautiful a run as the first time.

Instead of having breakfast at home we went to Lihue and had ox tail soup and pineapple pancakes at Tip Top Cafe at the Akahi street. Yummy!

Then we continued our ride north and arrived at the Moloa bay around 30 minutes later. Moloa bay is a beautiful bay with blue green water and green hills. And, surprisingly, not so many people.

On our way home we stopped at Kojima grocery store to buy kalbi for BBQ this night.

At home we prepared everything for dinner. I went to the grill to do the BBQ kalbi. But the gas was out so we had to make an emergency leftover dinner. Chie had curry and I had pasta pepperonchino. Although not planned it was still quite tasty.

After dinner Chie and I went into the garden and picked some aloe. We cut the leaf (or what you call it) and put the juice on the sun burn. It is soothing and speeds up the recovery.

We had a sleep-in today and was a little bit lazy getting going. As a result we were not at the Kawailoa bay until lunch time. I was in the shadow most of the time but Chie enjoyed the sun.

We stayed at the Kawailoa bay until around 3 pm. Then we left and went to Kiahuna instead. We needed a bathroom and Chie wanted to enjoy the big waves at Kiahuna. And she got a Mai Tai too.

At just before 6 pm we left Kiahuna and went grocery shopping. We had longed for Japanese food for a few days now so we found sashimi which we bought. And at home we enjoyed it as a starter.
