In the morning the radar showed no rain at any place on the island. And satellite images showed almost no clouds. So we decided to go north. To Secret beach.
On our way there it… Started to rain 🙁 We almost decided to turn around. But the thing with Kauai is that it always rains here. But there is also almost always sunny somewhere on the island. Usually south and especially the west side.
But that is no good if you are on the north side. We parked the car and walked down to the beach. About 10 minutes walk. Once on the beach the sun was shining 🙂
The day here was hot. Really hot. So we got into the water even though the waves were quite big and there was a strong current.
One of those times when we were cooling of in the water I was standing with water up to my thighs… It sung like h**l on the back of my knee. I went out of the water but it continued to pain. Then we saw a bluish jellyfish (Portuguese Man o’ War) with about a 40 cm string that was the most probable cause of my pain. We watched if flush onto the sand and then I carried it away and hid it under a rock – my revenge >:-)
Though the back of my knee and lower thigh pained me during the whole day, we had a nice day. Much relaxing. Lunch. Reading. Watching the sky. Doing nothing.
At home we had curry. And Tutu’s anniversary. Our favorite ice cream.
