Kauai- Day 7

Our 7th day in Kauai was the perfect mix of leisure and exercise (my kind of day!). Although we didn't have a set schedule, we had a loose agenda of things to do and it worked out beautifully :)

We started our day at the Lihue Farmers' Market

First stop? Pastries from Midnight Bear Breads

The Mac Nut cinnamon roll was a must...

...as was the mixed-berry Danish- yum!

Our next stop was some fruit- we had to have something healthy ;)

Sweet tooth satisfied, we had fun scoping out the local produce

I was stoked to see cricket products! I'd been wanting to try them...

Now I've tried one ;) Looking forward to
incorporating these in future culinary projects!

From there, we got some venison sticks for the road and were on our way

Our B&B host recommended that we check out the Waimea Days

festivities, so we parked the car back by our B&B and walked to the fairgrounds

 

We were just in time to catch the kids' ice-cream-eating contest...

There was some fierce competition haha!!!

After a leisurely start to the day, I was ready for some exercise, so we

made our way to the car and headed to Waimea Canyon in search of a trail

Wow. The views from the lookouts were amazing!

We eventually found a promising trail and headed into the canyon...

So impressive! We spent most of the afternoon exploring

the area before heading back to our temporary home in Waimea

Back in town, we decided to grab some poke from the

Japanese market and have a casual beachside dinner

After lots of curious sampling, we put together
a nice assortment and walked down the street to the beach

Table for 2 :)

The sunset was gorgeous and our poke was delish;

it was another great ending to another great day in sunny Kauai
