It is not often that we get invited to shop openings,
so it was with interest that we went to the opening in the V&A Waterfront of
the 150th Kauai shop. They have moved from inside the Victoria Wharf
complex to the old Union Castle building, outside next to the big wheel. We arrived
on time, but the staff were concentrating on laying out the food for rather a
long time before they noticed that many of their guests were there. They held a
competition, with some celebrities making the best tasting or the most nutritious
smoothie. We drank some carrot juice and tried some classic Bircher Muesli, and
really enjoyed the fruit and nuts with plain thick Greek yogurt which, they
told us, they import.
