Kauai: Part 3- Waterfalls and organic produce

Where did we leave off? Andy and I spent some time in the mornings and evenings sitting on the lanai enjoying the views, sunshine and quiet.



I bought this dress specifically for Kauai from Anthropologie. I love it but it's probably not the most flattering on me. It was super comfortable though.



We went to dinner at Merriman's in Poipu. Merriman's has an upscale restaurant upstairs and a more casual eatery below. We opted to eat below. I had a cobb salad. It was the best cobb salad of my life. The organic Kauai-grown tomatoes...words cannot explain! I loved that Merriman's used local and organically grown produce.



I got a side of potato-mac salad. I absolutely detest mayo and usually all potato or macaroni salads but there's just something about mac salad in Hawaii. I had to have a bite or two!



Andy had a lamb burger teeming with spinach. I should have asked him for a bite but I was too in love with my salad. He raved about the burger though.



We ended our evening with some music. Then the rain started pouring in and we ran to our condo for cover.



The next day, we went to see this waterfall. The Wailua waterfall was quick and easy to drive to. Definitely made me appreciate Kauai's rainy weather. Look how beautiful this is!





You can hike down to the pool at the bottom of the waterfall but we dared not.



We ended up driving to Princeville to check out the St. Regis and see how the other half lives.



Please ignore my make-up free scary appearance..



Princeville was a little overcast and rainy but very beautiful.



But I still had to go take a picture of this couple kayaking down the river. How fun would that be?



We finally got to our destination for the day. But first! We explored the dry cave.





This is from inside the cave. Spooky!



Then it was off to Ke'e beach.





Complete with chickens! Of course. We spent some time here snorkelling and swimming. I loved Ke'e beach and would highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Kauai.

We'll be back with more later!

-Does it excite you when restaurants use local, organic and sustainable food?
