Kauai Arrival - The Walk to the Mall or Nowhere

We arrived at the pier in Nawiliwili Harbor on Kauai's East Shore (Coconut coast) at about 7:00 AM. Since we docked at the pier, and not anchored offshore, I was not able to take pictures from the veranda, at least pictures worthy of publication.

Again, we had not made previous plans, booking no tours through Celebrity Infinity. After breakfast, we went ashore and decided to walk to the mall. We saw others walking, so just assumed that was the proper direction.

Julia posed at a sign denoting distances to various destinations. We walked and walked, taking pictures along the way. Even along the roadway, the views were spectacular.

In the distance we saw a furniture store with the interesting name of "Two Frogs Hugging" . I made a note to check that out when I got back home.


We walked some more, then came upon a 7-11. Thank Heaven a short distance away.....it was hot, we needed a drink. We asked directions to a Walmart we had seen from the ship. We were three blocks away.

So, we headed in the direction of Walmart, stumbled upon another Hilo Hatties, with a shuttle parked in front of the store. Without even entering the store and earning our right to do so, we got on board, and rode back to the ship. No purchases, except a Big Gulp at 7-11.
