[photos|travel] Kamokila Hawaiian village
Our next stop after Wailua Falls was Kamokila Hawaiian village. This is a partially reconstructed/restored site of a village abandoned around the end of the nineteenth century and rediscovered by accident in recent years. Some portions of the site, such as the temple, remain undisturbed amid the vegetation. Other portions have been reconstructed, and serve as a walking museum.
Flowers, lots of flowers
Birds too, including, amazingly, chickens
Somewhat inexplicably, an abandoned bulldozer parked next to the temple itself
Some of the huts and their contents
The messenger rock, now on its side — the figure is a running man
The other side of the messenger rock, what might be a map
A tiki watches over our departure
Next up, touring the north shore of Kauai.
And as usual, more at the Flickr set.
