South to Po’ipu

Although Po’ipu is only 35 km from our condo traffic is heavy and slow on Kauai so it took us nearly an hour to get there. This has always been our favourite snorkelling beach but not this time. The strong trade winds created large waves at a beach already known for rip-tides. Snorkellers were confined to a small protected area and only a few surfers braved the waves. No snorkelling for us but we did see a green sea turtle on the beach.

Just down the road was the weekly farmers market that is held at a small upscale shopping plaza. It’s always a good time as we get to see what is locally grown (including colourful tropical flowers!) and be entertained by local musicians.もっと詳しく
