So where are the feral cats. Everywhere I go the signs say I should be wary of them. They should be everywhere...lounging on the beach, in the undergrass, and underfoot. I know their hiding. Frustrating creatures. Maybe if I walk around smelling of tuna they'll come out to play.
Chickens... I can't seem to get away from them though - the little pecking cock-a-dooling demons. I've never liked chickens. They're really only good deep fried (or roasted if you're feeling virtuous).
Food was good. I ordered "off" the menu cause my stomach was feeling cranky. Brown rice, mixed vegetable stir fry, and one fried egg. Unusually healthy for me...but then I have to train myself up to eat and digest a moco loco. Maybe by the end of the week I'll be ready for the challenge.
The days highlights (in no particular order):
- Yeah Yamaha - one traveller's guitar purchased. It's just cheap and tiny enough. Got decent action. Sounds muted but just right for maximum playing (with minimal neighbour annoyance).
- Coconut ice cream in Old Koloa town
- Koloa farmers market - three kinds of mange, a tiny papaya, organic arugula, limes, and a japanese cucumber. Salad and fruit for dinner. Can't wait.
- Spouting Horn (Poipu) - kind of cool
- National Botanical Garden - poked my head in. Was too late to do a tour. May go back and do the waterfall tour.
- Kauai Coffee Company - got to say the long drive down to the visitor center might be the most beautiful scenic thing I've seen since I arrived. Just lush coffee trees (half-a-million of them) in ordered rows on either side of the road with the ocean glinting in the horizon. It smelled amazing. Self-tour was informative (20minutes) and they had over 20 types of coffees to taste test. Seriously buzzed. Ended up getting a Carmel Toffy Coffee for Eric.
- Singing on the patio.
