Kona Vacation - June 2010

Oceanside view of the palace which recently reopened as a museum after repairs for earthquake damage suffered a few years ago.  The museum inside was nice with some interesting displays, even if the matrons were a bit overbearing and their 'no photography' inside the building was excessive.  Beautiful examples of traditional (for western-influnced royals) furniture and wardrobe items were on display, as well as a small exhibit of 18th and 19th century tools and weapons.
