Got a few more pics to post for the fabulous Coco Palms, this time on a semi-personal note. Seeing WestADad and DC post about the shell basin sinks reminded me I had a little more I was gonna add to this thread...

I have this postcard showing a BIG clam shell sink.

That one is in the King's Cottages, as the text of the postcard said. But as DC also said, I had the impression they might've had the shell sinks in ALL the rooms (maybe without the gold tiles though).

So here's an image from the Penhallow book :down:

I mentioned earlier that my visit was with family, partly celebrating my parents' 50th anniversary in 2012. And 40 years earlier they stayed at the Coco Palms for their 10th anniversary in 1972. So here's my Mom in 1972, cleaning up some Kauai dirt in one of those sinks. :down:

A little re-enactment in 2012 :down:

Another slide photo my Dad took in their 1972 visit, on the lagoon :down:

And just for fun, one more pic from that same 1972 trip to Kauai, but not at the Coco Palms. This is my Dad going down the famous slippery slide from South Pacific. You used to be able to hike to it and swim and slide. It's still there, but thanks to the losers and the lawyers, those days are long behind us. :down:
