We started our day with an attempt for tennis. Too bad the girl who worked there didn't tell us when we visited the first time that there was a giant tennis tournament. Disappointment by Alex, but new plan for a walk while Jim explores the soon to be Montage spa. Strange how our $25 resort fee is becoming less and less amenities by the day, but we still have the trails and Kapaula bay with nice potty! (Most likely upgraded due to Montage!) Alex and I decided to walk the trail in the reverse direction. En route, we saw a painter who was amazing! LOVE watercolor! While walking Alex explained his priority for his next cruise to Europe. We listened to Lupe Fiasco/Jennifer Hudson Remission song and a few other fun music chosen by DJ Alex. I honestly must say that I have never felt better. Even with few side effects, my mind being clear is such a plus! We saw a nesting bird, fish along the trail, and help to take photos of random Japanese tourists along the path.
Off to Kula for Ocean organic Vodka tasting and tour! Our tour guide was from the Northwest, David and was very knowledgable about the process of making vodka and their new rum. Rum will debut on Monday called Wave and vodka is available in Costco in OC. Great views, who knew there were so many types of sugar cane, tasting sugar cane, goat cheese truffles, and a free shot glass. The chickens are used for pesticide. Great fun tour even for Alex who got to taste the Mahalo water which was $6 for a shot used in their vodka process. I couldn't taste a thing, but had fun. Then, our adventure for lunch. We found La Provence which I saw online had sandwiches, but didn't read that in the weekend it was only crepes and eggs. Tiny place with a nice view and an excellent place to practice Alex 's French which he is learning on DuoLingo (recommend the app!). You repeat the phrase and it tells you correct or not. Our waiter from France told Alex he needed to practice. We all ate crepes with yummy salad and roasted potatoes. All was delicious and we left for Surfing Goat Dairy which is now a full business enterprise since we came here 2 years ago. Alex started his tasting with sun dried goat cheese and another one with olive oil. I was the only one who fed the single ladies and decided to not feed the Billy goat since tour guide told us he smelled like pee.
Lastly, Alex tasted 4 other goat cheeses and loved Ole which was spicy. He wanted some to take back to the condo, but we told him we would try to get some later. The tour guide gave him Ono goat cheese quark gelato since the other boy wouldn't try any goat cheese. Of course, Alex liked lillikoi flavor. We bought some goat milk soap which I liked in plumeria and Jim got a mug so he could use that instead of the shot glass of coffee we have in the condo. Happy to support the business! We ended up getting Garden Fantasia flavor at our Honolua store in Kapalua. It was yummy and tasted like pesto. Alex put it on his burger! He also dipped gold fish in it. The boys enjoyed a sunset swim and I just enjoyed my Primo Hawaiian lager. I'm thinking the Ocean vodka shot and lager is a cancer cure.
