2009-March 6: Hanalei, Lydgate

Another cloudy day on the east side. I don't know if it rained on the east side. If it did, it was while we were out and about. At least the wind was way down and the surf advisory on the east side was finally dropped.
The surf was also still down on the north shore, so we headed north again. But with a little lack of enthusiasm today. We have a resident rooster that doesn't let us sleep past about 6:30 and it's beginning to wear on us. We had to be out of the condo by 10am for monthly bug spraying here at Kauai Beach Villas, so we headed north in search of low surf and sun. We found low surf, but no sun.
First we stopped at the Wyndham Bali Hai and talked to the Wyndham person there and had a few more questions answered. Tomorrow is the last day to recind, but I think we're going to keep it this time.

It was after noon by now, so we stopped at Bubba's in the old school shopping center for a bite to eat. The teriyaki burger with pineapple was actually pretty good.

We rode down to the Hanalei pier and noticed that the surf was indeed down again.

We headed on to Kee and Tunnels and under most circumstances would have jumped at the chance to snorkel there, but with being a bit tired and it only being about 67 degrees (our Hawaii weather went to St. Louis today!), we headed back to the Bali Hai and hit the jacuzzi instead. We're beginning to whimp out!

We had planned to stop at Anini on the way back, but ran into a heavy downpour. So we continued on.
By the time we got back to the East side, the weather there was 10 degrees warmer and the cloud cover was high and thin, so we headed to Lydgate. With the surf and wind being down---as well as it being near low tide---snorkeling there was great today.

We left there about 5 pm and headed to the heated pool and jacuzzi.

About 7 we decided it was time to think about dinner. We decided to head to The Bullshed. We tried to go there a couple years ago, but they were closed for some reason. So this was our first time for The BUllshed. We were both impressed. The food wasn't all that expensive and it was very good. We even had swordfish for the first time.  (although it had been a favorite of ours from then until 2016, they've now priced themselves out of our normal budget)

After a short stop at an ABC store after dinner, we headed back to the condo.
