Hawaiian history and places from a bicycle. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Kauai O Manokalanipo Part 2. After Ha'ena we headed back down to Lihue where our airbnb was.

Hawaiian history and places from a bicycle. Thursday, March 26, 2015. Kauai O Manokalanipo Part 3. I wasn't planning on coordinating this update with today's state holiday. But this is my last set of pics from the second day of our Kauai trip. I wanted to visit the birth place and home of Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana'ole at Kukui'ula, Koloa. First because he was a super cool dude with an extraordinary life! The sun was hammering down on us at midday so we just took a quick stroll around to see what we could see.
