Kauai Summer 2010 – Anahola to Anini

With fresh fruit, we have a tasty Island breakfast in Anahola.


Anahola closes on Thursday, so we had to pack up–we had reservations at Anini that night, but didn’t go there until late in the evening. Instead we went by the taro patch, where we had our wedding reception and Leilani’s first Birthday. It’s still as beautiful as ever:

The Ulu tree (breadfruit) we planted has grown surprisingly:

John was not there, I don’t think he would mind that we picked a breadfruit:

Andy dropped off Sonja and Leilani at the Waipoli Resort to visit our friends. He had to go back to work.

The main attractions are the water slides, the kids played at the pool most of the day.

Later, they were almost too tired to take a shower and go to dinner. Andy brought mangos from Kirk to share.

We showed them our house and then went to dinner at another of our favorite restaurants–Kintaro’s:

We got to Anini late, it was dark, but we were able to find one of our usual spots by the ocean and set up the tent. The campground was full of big family groups, but luckily it wasn’t the weekend yet.

Sunrise at Anini:

Andy had to work one more day back in the office, so Sonja was stuck at Anini. Fortunately, Amy and her family came to play, but none of us remember much else about the day and Sonja can’t find a bunch of the photos. Amy and family were leaving the next day, so they headed home early to pack.

Then we went for a walk along the beach at sunset:

Unfortunately, that was Friday night, and while the big family groups eventually turned off their big screen TVs (yes, camping is a weird thing even on Kaua’i) and went to bed, we were next to some partiers who made noise all night.
