Sorry I completely forgot about this while we were away in WA et al. Distracted by other things I guess.
Yes it is in Hawaii. Location was used in a well known movie from I think the early sixties. Other clues available if needed.

In the grounds of an abandoned old hotel, at that time returning to nature. I'm not on Oahu.

854 views and one guess, I assume no one is playing atm. So time to wrap this up I think.
It's in the grounds of the deserted Coco Palms Hotel on Kauai, now almost as wild than the surrounding landscape.
Location for the 1961 Elvis Presley movie Blue Hawaii. Anyone can go next.

Well John,

I always figured it would be me who killed this game not you.

I've been away trekking in The Himalayas, so I'd like to ask - where is it? Where was I and what was I looking down onto. Any one of three wins the prize.

Hidden Valley only opened in recent years to trekkers- still a restricted area.

I give up. Too hard .

It was Milrepas cave looking across the Tsum Valley at the Rachen Gompa.

Anybody can go.

I'm out.

After a bit of detective work using the Greek flag and the Hotel Saron sign, I believe this is at the southern part of the Greek island of Poros.

Thanks. Sorry for the delay, busy the last couple of days.

Something offbeat. Where was I waiting in NZ while these guys were keeping everyone amused (and alert):

I have a feeling that this could be the carpark of a lookout overlooking something interesting in the river valley below. But could be anywhere really.
