We spent today in some of our favorite places on Kaua’i, beginning with another walk through the Formal Gardens at Na ‘Āina Kai Botanical Gardens and Sculpture Gallery. We’d never been there in the Spring before, and it was even more colorful than on our usual Winter visits.









We stayed until the Gardens closed at noon, then drove to The Bistro in Kilauea for lunch. Then it was onward to Kapa’a for a short walk along the Ke Ala Hele Makalae Coastal Path (in English, “The Path that Goes by the Coast”), followed by shave ice at Honu Shave Ice.


We stopped at the Kapa’a Lookout on our way back to the Westin.
We had dinner on our balcony and were joined by a couple of the locals – the red-crested cardinal actually flew onto our table and cast covetous eyes on some of our food.
And then it was time for one last stroll and photo for the night.
