Big Island in Pictures – Day 6

Today, was a good day, after a long “Day 5″ driving around the entire island 200+ miles, we relaxed in the morning, had a nice breakfast and decided to make a short 30 minute drive to the Pu’uhonua o Honaunau  National Historical Park.

This national park is home of two significant historical landmarks: the Royal Grounds, and the Place of Refuge.  The Royal Grounds was home of the Ali’i of the Kona District of the Island of Hawaii.  The Place of Refuge is a massive stone wall–built about 1550 and still stands today, which separates the royal rounds from pu’uhonua people.

Below you can see some of our pictures from the Pu’uhonua o Honaunau  National Historical Park:
