Today we ventured over to the other side of the Island. Our first stop was a cool natural phenomenon called Spouting Horn. Lava rock on the shore had a hole worn into it from the tide. When the tide came crashing in this hole became a spouting horn, with a geyser like spray and a horn like sound! It was very cool to see!
The next stop of the day was at Poipu Beach, where we rented snorkel gear and were then able to see some great views of the local fish. We also saw a few seals frolicking around close to shore. No turtles though! (The guy who rented us the snorkel gear said there might be some out there.)
It was delightful at the beach, but I was sadly fooled by the overcast day and didn’t even think about sunscreen, so now I am pretty toasted! After lounging around for awhile Craig and I headed out for some lunch. Julie P had highly recommended a place close by called Puka Dogs so we went there. We had Polish/smoked sausage dogs with Hawaiian mustard, relish, jalapeño flavoring, and a mango sauce. We also had fresh squeezed lemonade and chips to round out the meal. It was actually quite delicious!
The next activity for the day was window shopping. We cruised around the Poipu shopping center that had the Puka Dog restaurant as well as a bunch of other shops. We did grab some toffee chocolate macadamia nuts for a treat and afterwards we hit the next shopping area called Old Kaloa Town. Again just window shopping, with no purchases.
After that we hit the 9 hole disc golf course in the area. It was a wide open field for quite a few of the holes, but probably 3 or 4 of then were tucked into the jungle-like area surrounding the field. It was fun, but after the last hole Craig and I were throwing our discs when mine disappeared! We searched and searched and searched for it, but to no avail...my favorite disc was gone!
