| Gems of Kohala: Kapa'au and Hawi - 159 sec
For more information, see www.tourguidehawaii.com
The dreamy mountain town of Hawi is one of the few remaining outposts of what locals call "old Hawai'i". The center of town (and that's about all there is) is located under the ancient banyan tree. Several small shops, galleries and restaurants make this a pleasant place to visit on the way to or from Pololu Valley.
In the center of the tiny town of Kapa'au, on the mountain side of the highway, stands the storied statue of King Kamehameha the Great. Originally commissioned for the Judiciary Building in Honolulu, this statue was lost at sea while being shipped from Paris. The twist in this story is that the statue was found years later and erected on this spot in Kapa'au to commemorate the birthplace of King Kamehameha the Great.
The towns of Hawi and Kapa'au have nice shops and public restrooms are available.
Mo'okini Heiau stands at the north end of Hawai'i Island. Built in the 11th or 12th centuries by warlike Tahitians who arrived conquering, enslaving, and sacrificing the natives, it is the first temple of human sacrifice in Hawai'i and the first site in Hawai'i to be preserved as a National Historic Landmark.
Long-foretold was the coming of a warrior king who would unite all the islands into a single kingdom and who would rule wisely, piously and wield power of proportion unknown to previous Hawai'ian Ali'i.
Born nearby, Kamehameha the Great was brought to this heiau for his birth rituals.

| Kohala Jodo Mission - 220 sec
One of the key stops on our regular pilgrimages to the Big Island is a drive out to Kapa'au, ancestral home of my mother's side of the family, to visit the graves of my maternal grandparents at the Kohala Jodo Mission. Near the very northern tip of Hawaii, tucked away on a hill behind the original King Kamehameha statue, this small Buddhist temple is the epitome of peace and serenity.

| Anuenue Playground - 209 sec
The cool, green town of Waimea (a.k.a. Kamuela) is home to what could be Hawaii's best playground. Anuenue Playground, an incredible wooden wonderland, was built and is maintained by the entire community. It's a must-visit stop as we pass through on our way from Hilo to Kapa'au. Given the subject matter, there's a lot of shaky handheld camera work here (including an ill-advised trip down a slide), which doesn't necessarily mix with the HD widescreen format. You have been warned.
