Nothing too exciting to post about today. We had initial plans to head to the north shore for some hiking adventures and possibly snorkeling. We started off the day by having breakfast at Kauai Kountry Kitchen - check out the Loco Moco plate Scott got (eggs, kalua pig, gravy and rice)!
There was a little wait and while we were waiting outside we realized how much sun we had gotten the day prior. While we have been diligent about putting on sunscreen prior to activities we did not during the drive yesterday. That 1.5 hour drive with the top down cooked both of our heads and arms. During breakfast we decided we needed to avoid the sun as much as possible in order to preserve our skin for the remainder of our trip. We deemed this day a vacation from our vacation and went into full relax/lazy mode. We then went to see the Farmer’s market as it closed at 12 and only happens twice a week. There were only a few stands but we still walked away with a whole pineapple, large avocado, mangoes, and tangerines for $20.00. We have discovered while the island is beautiful it does have it’s share of creepy critters. Today we came across a cane spider (huge, about the size of a tuna can), frog, and a rat (all outside thank goodness).
We then did a lot of window shopping in downtown Kapaa. After we had enough we headed back to the inn and started a regime of skin repair: oatmeal bath soak, aloe vera, and aloe vera/vitamin E lotion application on a schedule. We played monopoly on our covered lanai (I won for once!), watched a movie and I also logged into my class (as a short course I could not miss a class with out a grade penalty). We will continue to relax the rest of the evening and hopefully be back in proper form for more adventures tomorrow!
