Rainy day in paradise

We managed to get our morning walk in and back before the heavens opened and it rained today. Every time we thought it might let up, it rained even harder. An amazing amount of rain. Obviously this is why Kauai is so lush and green. It rains more on Kauai than any where else in the world but not usually here in Poipu crater.
It was quite something to experience. After a while, it resembled a Victoria all-day downpour. 
Even Yellow Bunnym was not impressed. So what do you do if it is raining.....play scrabble. Wanda and Warren came by and the game began, a close contest but won by Heather and Brad. 
Eventually we decided to drive to Lihue, get gas and see what we could find to do. We discovered the Marriott Hotel and had a great walk about.
Nice gardens.
Classy interiors.
The weather station.
The pool.
The elephant statue.
And finally Duke's Bar named after the famous Hawaiian surfer. Yellow Bunny quite enjoyed the outing.
A great way to spend the day when it is raining. And it still is!
