Super Full Moon

It was super full moon in Hawaii tonight – 12% larger and some 30% brighter than usual. Chie and I got in our car and drove to Polihale at 8 pm.

We arrived just past 9 pm and just in time to see the moon rise over the mountains. It was beautiful! The sand shone in a silvery tone, the ocean crushing in, the stars above – even some shooting stars.

There were many people on the beach, mostly locals judging from their cars… And the way they were howling at moon rising over the mountains 😉

We spent an hour or so moon bathing on the beach before we decided to return back home. When we passed the couple closest to us on our way back to the car we heard some moaning from under a pile of blankets… Probably a victim of some werewolf is my guess 😉

Farmer’s Market & Kiahuna Beach

In the morning we went to the Kauai Community College where they had a farmer’s market. Chie wanted to buy some coffee. We also ended up buying some Kauai made Eco-bags.

Afterwards we rewarded ourselves with a day at the Kiahuna beach. The surf was quite big in the afternoon so it was really fun playing in the water 🙂

Before returning home we had a Mai Tai and a strawberry smoothie at the pool bar of Sheraton next to the beach.
