Kauai: South Coast










A morning run while the boys ate cereal and pineapple, then a swim with the boys in the pool with one of their new friends. So a late start for the South Coast. On the way, we picked up some cinnamon raisin bagels, frozen fruit frosties, and white pineapple.

Po'ipu is the home of several resorts, notably the Grand Hyatt. (Donna and Randy married here, and Cyndi made sure to visit the place of their vows.) We had a nice lunch there on a terrace, and Cyndi found some sandals.

Po'ipu would be the place to go if there was too much rain or waves on the north coast. As it turns out, we have had very good weather on the north coast. Good trade winds are keeping the temperatures in the seventies and maybe a touch into the low 80s. Cool at night. We've been caught in two strong downpours but usually the intermittent rain falls in short sunshowers.

Po'ipu Beach is small, but nicely protected for keikis and easy snorkeling. The highlight of our visit was crossing to the little sand island and watching three giant sea turtles crawl out of the ocean.

I had to get another shave ice. On the way home, we also stopped at waterfall.

More pineapple today. We opened a bottle of wine for a change.
