Today we were in Kauai. We realized shortly after we left the ship that we’d forgotten to put the memory card back in to the camera, so words will have to suffice for today.
We picked up another rental car at the airport. We’ve had Jeep Wranglers in every port. Hopefully one day before we leave for home the weather will be nice enough to take the top down! We’ve had very little sun, and today was no exception. This morning we went ditch tubing through an outfitter company. The island has a series of irrigation ditches that were dug to water the sugar cane fields during the 1800’s and they now provide entertainment for the tourists. Our trip was approximately 3 miles of tubing, more than 2 miles of which was through caves. We wore helmets with lights on them and the water ran quite slowly in most areas so it was a nice leisurely trip. After we finished tubing the guides gave us lunch and a tour of the area. The guides were great and there were only about 20 other people on the tour, so we had a really great time!
In the afternoon, we took our own road trip and headed over to Waimea, where we caught our first glimpse of the sun in over a week! We walked for a while along the beach until it was time to get in the car and head back for the ship.
Tonight was the second formal night on the ship; however everyone dresses less fancy than the first formal night. Andrew had escargot and grilled tiger prawns; I had tuna tartare and chateaubriand. Now we’re back in the cabin to relax for a couple of hours before bed. It’s the big singing/dancing show tonight, but we’ll skip that as they are generally not our cup of tea.
Tomorrow we’re on to the island of Maui…
Take your memory card! Dad.
