Day 3 was really long for us. We woke up pretty early and decided to go for walk along the miles and miles of beach at our resort. We asked a hotel employee on where locals prefer to have breakfast and he suggested “Eggberts” which was very close to where we stayed. After a hearty breakfast, we got ready for our Helicopter Tour. While waiting at the lobby, Air Tour personnel said owing to some repair they canceled the tour for the day and managed to accommodate us on a later date.

Now with Air Tour plan cancelled, we started looking to do other activities in our 100 Fun things to do in Kauai. So cycling it was. With my poor balancing skills and several bruises that I acquired while learning to ride cycle; I managed to talk Ramesh into getting 2 seat tandem bicycle. It was real fun as we drove along the Coconut Coast enjoying the pleasant breeze and of course plenty of sunshine. We were done soon leaving us to wonder what to do next, so we decided to roam around aimlessly with no clear agenda and decided to stop where ever we wanted and exploring the island more. We drove North, stopped at Princeville for some hot coffee for me (Yeh I know I am weird - hot coffee in hot weather) while Ramesh ate ice cream at Lappert’s.

We drove all the way North, stopped at Hanalei Beach and other pretty places that came across. We visited Kilaeu Light House which closed by the time we went, so just walked around the area and drove back to Downtown Kapaa. We walked around and I zeroed in on “Blossoming Lotus” restaurant. I had hearty carrot ginger soup, which absolutely cleared my sore throat. It’s an Asian fusion organic vegan restaurant and the food was pretty good. I was taken aback seeing curry leaves in their dhal and the waitress explained that the chef uses authentic ingredients and minimal spices to bring out the best flavors in their food. I won’t deny that and we absolutely loved the food. And we ended the day by relaxing our muscles in hot spa.
