Today we went back to the Kiahuna beach. It is one of our favorite beaches in Kauai.
We read, played in the waves, and relaxed. Enjoying the sun, the breeze and the palm trees.
At 4:45 pm we returned home after a short stop for grocery shopping. Dinner tonight was grilled salmon and salad.
One of our favorite beaches is the Moloa bay. It’s a long horse shoe shaped beach along a small bay on the east-north-east coast. The beach is in total about 500 meters of sand and there are usually very few people there. Today it was actually a bit crowded as there were about 20 people there… And a dog.
The dog had a large stick that she wanted thrown into the water. At some point Chie was closest to her so she wagged her tail and looked so playful and pleading like just a dog can look. Chie succumb to her pleading and threw the stick into the water. But not far enough… Before Chie was back in her chair the dog was back at her side ready to play again.
At 5:30 pm we left the beach, did some grocery shopping, and went home. We had pasta with anchovy, olive cream sauce, and salad. Yummy.
Woke up and went almost at once to the airport for the 30 minutes flight to Kauai. In Kauai we got our rental car and drove to sunny Poipu where we checked in at our usual room.
After a quick unpacking we drove to the Kiahuna beach and placed ourselves under a palm tree. The group of 6 Americans that we usually see here were here this year too. Same chairs. Same umbrella drinks. Same sun protected white noses. They just look older, in difference from Chie and I 😉
It was great being back at Kauai. Sand was warm. Weather was great. Water looked beautiful. My book was good. Company was great 🙂
We left the beach around 5:30 pm and did some grocery shopping before heading back home. At home we cooked and ate Japanese curry and salad. Yummy.
By 9:30 I was in bed sleeping (( _ _ ))..zzzZZ
Once we got through security we got on a shuttle bus and went to our hotel. The room was not available yet so we just changed clothes and went shopping.
It took us most of the day to visit all the stores we wanted and then some.
We had dinner at the Takonoki, a Japanese restaurant with nice food and very friendly owner.
After dinner we bought some water and went back to the hotel. I was so tired I fell to sleep at once.
Met Chie at the Shinagawa station around 5 pm. At 5:20 our NEX train left bound for the Narita airport.
After checking our bags we went straight through security and immigration directly to the Delta lounge. In the lounge we relaxed while eating and drinking. 40 minutes before boarding I had a shower. It felt like… Vacation 🙂
Boarding was kind of exciting. First time I was going on the second floor of a 747. It was nice but felt a bit to be in office where everyone has their own cubicle 🙂 Though these had nicer chairs/beds and bigger screens.
We departed Narita just after 9 pm and arrived in Honolulu around 9 am the same day. Just like a time machine.
