On Tuesday we drove to the Pali Lookout. At this spot there is an opening in the Koolau Mountain Range. As a result, winds come whistling through the gap at amazing speeds! There are stories, which I ALMOST believe, of people trying to commit suicide by jumping from the cliffs but being blown back to safety by the winds. The view from the Pali is beautiful. My pictures do not come close to doing it justice.
Below you will see what is dubbed "the most difficult golf course in the world".

This plaque identifies the location of the Battle of the Nu'uanu Pali. "It was here in 1795 that King Kamehameha and his warriors defeated the O'ahu armies by sending them over these steep, forested cliffs and claiming his victory and uniting the Hawaiian Islands." (I borrowed the last sentence from an historical website.)
This photo shows Kaneohe Bay and much of the Windward side of the island.
