MOLOKAI - the “friendly
island” lives up to its name.
The people are delightfully
friendly and give tourists a
warm welcome.

I wish I could say I liked
Molokai.

We stayed at the Pau-
Hana (translated from the
Hawaiian, it means “stop
work"). The units are

.adequate, cledn, cheap and

right on the beach. Un-
fortunately,
behind a _ reef, meaning
shallow, muddy and quiet.
It's unsuitable for swimming.

The Pau Hana is located
on the south coast, just a few
blocks from the tiny city
center. It has a restaurant
and a large bar-
entertainment area where a

. Hawaiian group plays fairly

good music every night. Toa
half-dozen people.

You can get an adequate
breakfast for $1.50, lunch
for two for under $8 and
dinner. If I could ever get to
like dehydrated potatoes and
bottled salad dressing, I
might learn to like the
dinners. For -$9.75, the

but only because she was
starving.

We also tried “Glady’s”,
next door to the Hop Inn. On
the day we visited, their
special was a combination of
chicken wings, long rice
(like transparent spaghetti),
canned spaghetti and
coleslaw. Need I say more?

The drive-in qiamburger

stand across the street from _

our hotel was no better —
only cheaper. .
The Sheraton has built a
luxury complex up on the
western tip of the island. We
drove over (about 25 miles
from the town) and spent the
morning having a look and
talking to some of the guests.
The reports were very
favorable. Although the
hotel is quiet, the food is

excellent and the location
ee yea tifui.

The beach is

lovely to look

at,
treacherous for swimming.
If you're planning a visit to ¢

Molokai here’s my “helpful
hints”:

1. Bither stay at the
Sheraton or get a place with

a kitchen.

2. Grocery stores are
cheaper than on the other
islands. They close at six. So
do all the other shops.

3. There is n0 public
transportation so a car is a
must unless you stay at the
Sheraton and plan to spend
all your time there.

No, I didn't ride a mule. It
would have cost us nearly
$100 Canadian for a two-
hour down and a two-hour
up visit to the leper colony. I
don’t think I want to get to
know any mule thdt well.
Polynesian Airways also
services the leper colony at
