2/21 Our Last Day Off

2/21 Our Last Day Off

We woke to a cloudy day, but so far it seems that the rain will hold off. We chatted with L.B., the handy man, and he said that there were flash flood warnings across the island yesterday. The forecast calls for more rain today, but that is the typical forecast so we will see. We took our leftover pizza for lunch and headed down the mountain to see if maybe the sun is out on the coast. Just a short way down the road, we saw a young couple with big backpacks hitchhiking. We stopped to give them a ride. They are from Germany and had been camping and hiking on the mountain for the last two days. They were on their way to Waimea to another campground and were meeting friends there before they fly home on Wednesday. Before coming to Kauai, they had been in Australia for six weeks. They are both physical therapists. We stopped at a viewpoint as it was fairly clear (note the large waterfall from all of the rain last night) and then continued down the road. We dropped them off at their campground and are now at the Cottages to post our blogs. I will post this short one today also and then you won’t hear from us again until Friday when we will be in Oahu. I do hope it is a bit less rainy over there, but at least here we don’t have to shovel! By the way, in the short time we have been sitting here, it has started to rain again!
