Monday 6/27
- First walk on the beach at 6 AM, and we saw an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal resting on the shore. He had similar sleeping habits and demeanor to Otto, so Elise named him “Ottwo.”
- Went and hiking along the Poi’pu coastline amongst the Lithified Cliffs. One sea turtle was spotted, rolling in the waves along the shore.
- Snorkeling along the Poi’pu shoreline, with our favorite finds being an eel and multiple parrot fish.
- After a lunch break, we headed to the local farmer’s market, where we drank some coconut milk straight from a freshly macheteed nut. We also purchased locally grown mountain apples, apple bananas, mangos, papayas, avocados, carrots, and pineapples. A success to say the least.
- Then we headed to Costco to purchase some necessary provisions for the week. We also purchased a new Nikon camera for the trip.
- Next, we headed inland to the Wialea waterfall. Once seeing it from above, we decided to descend to the bottom to swim in the pool below (despite the “DO NOT ENTER” sign posted along the trailhead). It was breathtaking and we were in awe.
- Free Maitai’s at the Sheraton this evening, followed by a trip to the Sprouting Horn ocean geyser and dinner in Kalahou.
