More photos
I hope this all comes out ok - I'm in an internet gaming room as my hostel has no cd-rom facility for me to upload my photos...
This is Pu'uhonua O Honaunau - the place of refuge at Honaunau. It's a beautiful, serene spot down the Kona coast from Captain Cook - it's one of the places I snorkelled at the day before. Much of the structures they have there now are recreations but I think the one in the second photo is the original.
You can just see a turtle coming out of the water to nest in the sand. Over the last couple of years they've started using this place as a breeding ground - so we can't get within about 6 feet of them.
