National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific

The cemetery is located in central Honolulu. Pictures along the route to the cemetery show some of the interesting cityscape.

The Cemetery is located on a 111.5 acre tract of land in central Honolulu, approximately midway between the airport and Waikiki, in an area known as the "Punchbowl", a crater formed 75000 years ago during a period of volcanic activity. The number of internments through 2005 numbered 46,272 according to the official website.

I apologise for the picture quality, but the National Park Service does not allow the tour buses to stop for photographs. (at least our driver said so). All photographs shown were from a moving bus, over or between the heads of other passengers, through glass which at times cause reflections which completely ruined the picture. These are the best of the best. Sorry.
