Nawiliwili, Kauai

Hello from Kauai!

Golf anyone?

Because I was just here a few months ago - and because it was such a great day then - I decided to duplicate it today.

I’m coming your way!

I made sure to be out of the cabin and on my way so I could make it to the Koi feeding at the Royal Sonesta resort at 10 AM. I made it with plenty of time to spare. They have little cups of food so anyone who wants to do the feeding can. So I did.

One new thing I discovered today was a shortcut to the gardens. Usually I push my scooter up this hill. But today I found it’s not necessary as a little farther down the path is an elevator. And you don’t have to be a guest at the hotel to use it.

I perused the grounds, checking to see if any different flowers were blooming in the fall compared to when I was here in the spring. There were a few flowers, but mostly I found lots of different colors in the foliage.

 

The grounds are just gorgeous, no matter the time of year.

As is the pool area.

I spent some time on the beach and then right at 10:45 I went over to Duke’s for drinks and lunch. Multiple Mai Tais and a cheeseburger kept me busy for a few hours.

After lunch I went back to the beach. I like that the grass is firm and compact and I can take my scooter on it.

The extra time soaking in the sun had me ready for more refreshment. On the way back to the ship I stopped at the shave ice place where I stopped last year and had the exact same one I had last year.

I sat in the breezeway in a comfy chair and ate almost all of it. And yes, it was much better than yesterday‘s shave ice at the Ala Moana Center.

It was another great day in Hawaii.

Tonight’s sunset

Tomorrow we’re in Maui. See you there!
