A Seer told him that if he built a Heiau (Sacred Temple) dedicated to his war God he would achieve his destiny. He built the Pu Ukohola Heiau between 1790 and 1791. He conquered all the Islands by warfare except Kauai which was negotiated in 1810 and his prophecy of Hawaii being ruled by onewas fullfilled. This is Pu Ukohola Heiau
When life hands you lava rocks - build walls. These are all hand layed without mortar.
Next isLapakahi State Historical Park
No one remembers when the walls were built or the people who first lived here, but they probably came for the bounty of the sea.
We continue up the Coast to Makapala for lunch. Just outside town was thisgreat tree house'
The road ends at Waipio Valley. We of course cannot resist the signs and take the trail down.
It leads down to beautiful Waipio Bay.
It's a rock trail with lots of switchbacks.
But we keep our final destination in mind
There is light at the end of the tunnel!
Time for a short rest.
Definately worth the trip!
A stroll along the beach before the tide comes back in.
Another beautiful day in Pardise!
Till Later,
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
