Today was our last full day in Kauai so this is likely the last blog post for our trip unless something interesting happens tomorrow. We headed south as Carter wanted to check out the beach with the turtles again and we've discovered that the most cost effective location for macadamia related products is Costco. There were no turtles at the beach today but the weather was great and Kerry and Carter tried snorkeling as we had some equipment available with our condo. This isn't a great spot for snorkeling since the interesting locations are outside the reef and the life guards had to use the loud speaker to warn snorkelers to stay inside the bay every 15 minutes.
After the beach we stopped in at Kauai Coffee again so that Callie could get some crushed pennies. After that we stopped in at a local pie shop. It wasn't in a great location so I don't think they as much foot traffic as some of the other shopping areas so I found my piece of Island Lime a bit stale. Callie and Kerry really like their coconut cream pie and Carter enjoyed his mango. There are a ton of local shops on this island and it would take a while to visit and rate them all.
We made our way back to Costco where we finally found what we thought would be easy to find. An egg. At first the theory was that it was just someone's egg they bought at Costco but it was a bit small and dirty. Most chickens lay eggs daily but we're not sure what happens when they suddenly become wild chickens. Do they still lay daily? Are all the eggs fertilized with all the roosters around? More research required.
We really enjoyed our trip to Kauai, even with all the roosters and chickens waking us up every morning. The weather was very unpredictable but didn't stop us from doing anything. Even when it rained it seemed to rain for less than 5 minutes at a time. The beaches were great, the shops and restaurants were great and I didn't run into any locals that wanted to beat me up. (Ever since watching Forgetting Sarah Marshal I live in fear of accidentally ending up on the turf of Hawaiian locals.)
