Football & Kiahuna

As usual in the morning Chie is feeding her favorite bird Elisabeth. She has been visiting us at Poipu Plantation for the last few years. Always coming when we wake up and when we get back after a day at the beach.

This morning Elisabeth was there though it was raining. So we stayed at home and took the opportunity to watch some football, it’s Sunday after all 🙂

Once the weather got better we went to the Kiahuna beach. And went to the hotel nearby, or rather to it’s bar. To watch the end of the Patriots at Jets game, and more specifically watch the results from the Rams at Raiders game. Raiders won and that made our day… And the sun, and the waves and Kiahuna beach contributed as well 😎

Around 5 pm, or just, past we packed up. And once we got into the car it started to rain. In Kauai it is always raining somewhere, but there is usually always sunny somewhere as well. And the weather can change quite suddenly.

At home we prepared dinner. Tonight it was pasta with bacon tomato sauce and salad. Yummy!

Rainy Poipu ;-)

The day started with heavy rain, even here in the usual so sonny Poipu. We took the opportunity to go to Lihue for some shopping.

At around 2 pm the sun was back 😎 And we went to Poipu beach to have lunch, and do some swimming in the ocean.

We stayed at the beach until 6 pm. It is amazing how pleasantly warm the sun is at 6 pm. Just perfect. And all colors start to glow.

Moloa Bay

Cloudy all over the island. We had a plan to go north east to Moloa Bay, one of our favorite beaches, for the day. And we stuck to our plan.

At Moloa Bay it was mostly cloudy as the rest of the island. But it was perfect temperature to just read, relax, and sleep on the beach. Seems both Chie and I are a bit jet lagged still.

Just past 4 pm we started our return to the south part of the island. As usual it had cleared up in the south (it is always sunny in Poipu). We stopped at the Safeway in Koloa town to buy groceries, and at the Papaya’s organic shop.

At home we had Japanese style curry with rice and salad for dinner. Yummy.

And right now both Chie and I are up at the B&B house of Poipu Plantation, because the wireless network is a bit too weak for the liking of our iPads. But at the B&B it is OK.

Back in Kauai

Flew from Honolulu to Kauai in the morning. As usual we got our rental car and drove back to Poipu Plantation to check in. The room was not ready but changed clothes and went to the Kiahuna beach, after shopping lunch at Brennecke’s

It was really hot when we arrived at noon but pleasantly warm at 5 pm when we left. We went to Big Save to buy groceries. Then home to prepare dinner and take a shower. Basically a day as any other in the paradise 😎

Poipu Plantation is our home when we visit Kauai. The staff is so friendly and they have a beautiful garden. With mango trees, oranges trees, and tons of flowers.

Whenever they have fruits they always welcome the guests to try. Right now it is the season for oranges and they have too much so they asked us to pick from the trees if we want too. I already tried an orange and it was juicily deliciously yummy 😛

After a 7 hours or so long flight we arrived at the Honolulu airport. Not much changed since our last visit, though there were quite a lot of more people waiting in line for the shuttle bus.

No time to relax. Directly after checkin at the hotel we went for shopping. I visited one of my favorite stores Lululemon. And, of course, the Apple store.

We had dinner at the “usual” place, but it is because there are not too many good restaurants here within a reasonable price ran gee. And now we are just about to sleep, exhausted after a long day.
