On the right is the "pali" (cliff) and most of the peninsula of Kalaupapa. It was the Leper Colony established in the 1800s by Father Damien. Quite a story about the early days of the colony in the book "Molokai". It is so very good. While we were on the island there was so much rain that the only trail and a bridge down to the peninsula got flooded out. That trail is only for walkers and mules - no vehicle can traverse it. Otherwise the only access is by plane or boat.
