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:
Very cool! I love all that historical stuff!
