The Aloha Hut. Soon the Hawaiian Baby Woodrose vines will scramble over the sun screen mesh of the "A" shaped roof and strangle out the the sunlight so the interior can remain dark and mysterious.
The tiki cat keeps vigil at the entrance.
Inside features a salvaged tv. A looped DVD can play "Tiki Time TV"-- a mix of Don Ho and YouTube videos. Lots of mosquito repellent makes it tolerable to enjoy a beverage in the refreshment room.
Its always Tiki Time.
Someone threw this treasure out in the trash! Not exactly tiki, but it covers up the uncompleted bar front that may some day be festooned with a tapa cloth pattern.
A lava rock water feature provides a background bubbling ambiance to evening get-togethers. A looped soundtrack of Disney "Sunshine Pavilion" music and low key exotica, among other selections, is piped in via speakers mounted behind the wall of styrofoam rocks.
Near the pool is the obligatory signpost and hammock hook up. The signs help hide the plumbing to an array of water misters and one water jet that sprays poolward.
The misters in action. Ahhh, cooling relief after a hard day in the hammock.
Not a great picture. Proprietary brand of Rock Candy Syrup for Mai Tais. (2 cups sugar, one cup water, boil, stir, and optional, add a dash of vanilla extract, bottle, enjoy).
Signs showing that Jungle John is passable at painting far more than carving.
Except for the Mai Tais, this is a menu from a weekend luau for a new generation of teenaged tiki-Poly-pop aficionados. Only the grown ups enjoyed the "real" refreshments. The virgin Mai Tais turned out to be sweet limeade with a dash of OJ-- yum!
