Kauai

Second Port Day

This is our second port day and our second and final stop in Hawaii. Again it was supposed to be a 60% chance of rain but it was lovely and we made our way to our berth.

We had breakfast and then went to deck seven to hide a duck. This is duck day.

We then headed off of the ship. We do not have an excursion booked but we remembered what a delightful port this was. We took the Anchor Cove shuttle, a 5 minute ride and we toured around.  Kauai is the island with all of the feral chickens... they were everywhere. Lots of roosters and no babies. Perhaps the hens are nesting somewhere.

We roamed in and out of the shops and I found the perfect ornament for my around the world Christmas tree. We did not purchase a mu mu or a Hawaian shirt but there were certainly hundreds if not thousands to choose from. 

We decided to roam over to Market Mall. It is a similar area but was across the highway. We saw an ice cream sign and decided that was where we wanted to be, so away we went.

The ice cream was so good. WE got coffee expresso ice cream, loved it. This establishment also served shave ice. We didn't buy it but was watched it being made. This one was called Volcano.

We roamed a little and discovered a shop that sold Lionel and other model trains. Ken was in his glory. Outside of the shop was a display which I loved and took lots of pictures of.

Our feet and legs began to tell us it was time to head back to the ship so we walked back to Anchor Cove and sat and waited for its arrival. It runs every 10 minutes so we knew we would not have to wait long.

There was a cold drink and a nice place to sit and relax waiting for us when we got off of the bus. Ken got a good cold drink.

We went up to the buffet for lunch. Dining rooms are not opened for lunch on port days. This gives some of the staff a bit of a break

We met Leo and Pauline there and they decided to do as we did and take the little shuttle over to Anchor cove and have a look around.

We returned to our cabin for a rest. The show tonight is Dan Delgado; "LineagePt1" and we have no idea what that is. I will let you know when I know.

On our way to dinner we checked and the duck has been found. I wonder who found it.

Leo and Pauline and I went to the show. Dan Delgato is a trumpet player and vocalist. He is very talented and I am glad I went to the show. He is scheduled to perform again on January 29th.

We are at see again and will be at sea for 5 days    . Next Port is Papeete, part of French Polynesia.
