kaumahina has bathrooms, which is very exciting at that point in the road, until you find out that all of the stalls in the women's bathroom are broken except for one.

legend says that a princess hid here from her creepy abusive husband. his people saw her shadow, or her faithful maid's shadow, on the water, caught her and killed her. the water runs red every year on the anniversary of her death.
it just so happens that little red shrimp gather here annually.
amazing how that works out.
OMG JELLYFISH
