Maddy really wanted to see the ruins of King Kamehameha III's summer home. After a long hike I thought that she would be too tired to start a new one. I was wrong. She was very insistent on finding this new trail (which was difficult to find). After a short drive, we found it and headed into a very dark Bamboo Forest. It was worth a hike up hill with a toddler on the hip. It was the most peaceful place I have found on Oahu yet. So pretty and the posted sign had some amazing facts. It wasn't a large area, but at a point, the king hosted over 10,000 people for a luau there. Where did they all fit?
If I ever picked a summer home location, this would be it. However, I am still trying to figure out how they found this spot and how they got all the rocks and items they needed to live up there and then all those 10,000 people hiking up there in their fancy dress.... it is all so amazing!
