Kauai 2017 Days 7 and 8

Sunday morning dawned nice and sunny.  After a leisurely morning and some breakfast we rented snorkel gear from Boss Frog's beside the Beach House and did a little snorkeling at Lawai Beach.  It was a little choppy and the visibility wasn't the greatest but still had a good hour.







We went back to the condo and I went on a grocery run to Koloa while Kelly and Evan played some tennis.  We got back about the same time and Evan felt a migraine coming on so he took some medication and rested while Kelly and I headed to Poipu Beach for some more snorkeling.  The first thing we saw upon arrival was these two big guys.




They were having a good rest in the sun while the volunteers were keeping everyone back and answering questions.  There was one more further along the beach as well but we didn't walk down that far.  The snorkeling was really good here.  I found it better than Lawai Beach this day.
















After snorkeling we headed back and had a swim and a hot tub then proceeded to the roof for sunset.  It had rained the previous 2 evenings so this was the first opportunity for sunset pictures.








After sunset we grilled some steaks and ate them on the lanai with this backdrop.


A couple glasses of wine and one more hot tub and that's it we were done and ready for bed. 

Monday we had a tee time booked at Puakea so we headed into Lihue.  Grabbed something to eat and proceeded to the golf course. We like this course as it's very reasonably priced.  65 dollars after 11:00 and 40 dollars for rentals.  We had an enjoyable 18 holes and our game wasn't too too bad but I certainly played the back nine better than the front....11 strokes better.  Took me a while to get used to different clubs, at least that's my excuse.  The course is in great shape and even though there are no ocean holes it still has some pretty scenery.






We stopped at Costco and grabbed a ready made lasagna and caesar salad from the deli and some more beer.  Got back and went for a swim and hot tub and ate our easy dinner then watched The Voice and fell asleep early again.  Woke up this morning with the birds (literally as the parakeets make quite a noise at 6:30 am every morning taking off) and after reading my book for an hour, Kelly and I walked to Lappert's for coffee and this fellow was resting on Lawai Beach.


A full on rain shower hit us just before we got back to the condo so we got soaked but the rainbow was worth it.


Today is a do nothing day as I think I got too much sun yesterday and I'm not feeling so well.  Rest and shade is in order. Maybe later this afternoon we'll see how we're doing and go for a drive.
