Today we slept in, then headed to Lahaina to pick up some clothing Erci was having altered, have more Mai-Tais at Cheeseburger in Paradise (Ernie is a great bartender, and the breeze is better in the upstairs bar than downstairs in the main dining room). Erci had to have some prints with koi in them (they really are lovely) and we cruised town for a few photos.
Then we drove up to legendary Honolu’a Bay and saw decent surfing waves one could ride for minutes (and yes, it is Summer now!), then we stopped briefly at D.T. Fleming Beach Park just to get a feel for some of the parks.
We stopped for coffee in Napili and then decided to drive around to Iao Valley. Iao gets a lot of rain, and the tropical plants in the steep volcanic valley setting are amazing. Very beautiful place and a world away from the heat of Lahaina and the West Maui beaches. We headed in to town for a brief stop at Queen Ka’ahumanu Center (a large, open-air mall) for supplies and shopping. Erci hit yet another Serendipity clothing store and we loved some of Seredipity furniture store’s pieces too.
We snagged dinner at Da Sushi Bar and WowWee Maui Kava Bar because that has been the best poke on the island so far. Erci is searching for a bumper sticker that says “got poke?” now… we saw one on someone’s car. Picked up real estate guides, and ouch; this place is very expensive.
Evening swim in the pool before it closes and another night sleeping with the doors open to tbe night breezes.
