Checking the weather forecast in the morning we found that Moloa Bay was going to have sun with some clouds the whole day. So we went there, and it turned out the forecast was wrong. We had a wonderfully blue sky the whole day.

Being on Vacation is not a Vacation
Want to make sure that anyone reading this blog knows that being on vacation is not a vacation. It’s dangerous, and we risk our life every day 😉
Running
Every other day I have taken a run in the morning before Chie wake up. I run along a beautiful coastline, crossing a 300 meters sand beach, run along the edges of cliffs, jumping over roots and end up at a sacred ground where I turn around and do it all in reverse. The sand beach is worse going back, just in case you wondered 🙂 but overall it is a wonderful start of the day.
Salty Chips at the Salt Pond
Weather forecast was saying rain in most part of the island and if that is the case then you go west. So we did. All the way to the Salt Pond. We spent the day there in mostly sunny weather, that was broken every 30 minutes by a 1 minute light shower. Just enough to keep us cool.
By 3 pm it looked like more than a light 1 minute shower was coming our way. So we went to Lihue for some chocolate shopping. It was raining. And quite heavy so when we were on our way back home. And sunny when we got back home. Resulting in a colorful rainbow, which was so short lived I almost did not have to capture it 🙂
2 Lazy Monk Seals
And I’m not talking about Chie and me 🙂
Actually we saw 3 different Monk Seals at the Poipu beach today. When we were on our way to Kiahuna beach in the morning we saw something was going on at Poipu beach so we stopped there. Lucky for us. A young Monk seal was playing in the water a few meters from the beach. In the evening we found out that it most likely from the Nihau island because it could not be recognized (no ID tag and no marks).
Once we had satisfied our Monk seal interest we continued to Kiahuna beach where we spent the rest of the day, playing in the waves, eating, reading and relaxing.
On our way back home we stopped at Poipu beach again to check the Monk seal. It turned out the 1 seal had turned into 2… Different ones. They had stranded on a strip of beach together and was doing what Chie and I had done most of the day, resting.
