Kauai Bound - Wednesday

May 28 2008

Yummy sausage and cheese english muffins for breakfast. Then we went to the Beach House to snorkel. There was a good variety of fish but the current was really strong as well as a little choppy. It was also very murky and the coral was mostly rubble. Lesson learned this trip is snorkeling is better on Hawaii and even Maui than it is on Kauai. Maybe others have had a better experience but we did not. We decided that we would go over to Shipwrecks Beach which is next to the Hyatt. So glad that we didn't spend the money to stay there. I would have been really disappointed if this was the beach that I got stuck at. Way too dangerous shore break for swimming. But I guess if you are staying at the Hyatt you are probably lounging by the pool with the cocktail waitress coming around every so often. The scenery is gorgeous here though so don't count it out. The end of the beach near the cliffs gives off a 'locals beach' vibe. Don't know that I would hang there on the weekend. We hiked up the cliff which is called Makawehi Bluff. The view from here is stunning. We took at ton of pics here. It was starting to warm up so we headed back to the beach. We laid our stuff out on the grass at the park there and hung out under the palm trees to cool off before heading back to the condo. We took a trip into Koloa to see what time the fish market closed since that was our plan for dinner the next day. We bought a couple of trinkets to take back home. Came back to get ready for dinner at Keoki's which is the same as Duke's back home and Kimo's on Maui. I had the best monchong Keoki's style while Matt had the ono cooked the same way. Of course we had to have Hula Pie. Although it was not the best one we have had, I will say it again this stuff is evil. We also did a little shopping for shirts. Back on our side of the road just in time for the best sunset of the trip. Watched Top Chef then hit the sheets.
