As some of you may have noticed, I didn't have the blog updated this morning like I usually do. I know, I know- this Island Living has turned me into quite the slacker. :) We had a sort of overcast day yesterday so when we woke up this morning to sunshine again we were eager to get back at the beach! But here I am, staying dedicated, trying to get this blog finished before we head to dinner!
So as I said, it was pretty overcast yesterday (but still warm and VERY humid) so we decided to do a little more sight seeing. After a nice lunch at Brenekes on Poipu Beach, we headed up to Eleele to the visitor center of the Kauai Coffee Company. I know- sounds about as fun as watching paint dry but it was surprisingly very interesting... and beautiful. The visitor center itself is nestled in the midst of acres and acres of coffee tree's and they even have a maze that wraps through an area of the coffee tree's that leads you through the process of coffee beans from tree to cup. I know- I am a true coffee geek. After tasting some different coffee's, visiting the gift shop, and touring the small museum- we hit the road and headed back to Poipu where we watched a Polynesian Show! Man those girls can shake those hips!!! I love watching any type of dance so I was in heaven... I think Rocco just liked watching the hips shake! :) He was CONVINCED that one of them was giving him "the eye," I think he was dreaming! :) After the show we stopped at the Spouting Horn again to watch the sunset before our dinner reservations at the Beach House. Being that I think I am Dr. Doolittle I thought it would be a good idea to take a granola bar, split it with Rocco, and feed the Roosters (which for those of you who haven't been to Kauai, they are everywhere!). We hadn't even completely unwrapped the granola bar before we were swarmed by Roosters, it was hilarious! We were cracking up! Rocco even thought he would take it one step further and throw the crumbs at my feet and watch me freak out when the roosters would all come running for me (hardy har har!). Once the rooster escapade was over, we headed to the Beach House for a WONDERFUL dinner. The restaurant was RIGHT on the beach and we literally had the best seats in the house. Rocco enjoyed Macadamia Nut crusted Mahi Mahi and I had a Blackened Ahi Caear Salad. Then of course we had to share a Mango Mojito and a piece of Hawaiian Chocolate Haupia Cake. Okay- now, I am not usually a huge chocolate fan but this cake was TO DIE FOR! It was a chocolate cake layered in Hawaiian Coconut custard and topped with coconut flakes!! So yummy!
Here are some pictures from our day...
