Sigh. In Memoriam "The Islands" Restaurant:


The Hanalei's original tower, and the Moai that ended up by the pool:

The A-Frame entrance:

Zooming into underneath:

Artifacts from Stephen Crane's Luau:

The New Guinea Tiki (see Luau menu cover #2 in BOT)...

...and the spear fence from the Luau's interior waterfall (see postcard in BOT)

The entrance doors...

The left wall waterfall with bridge:

The big waterfall:

..and it's native statues:

The headhunter


The couple
