Put simply, this is paradise. A maximum of 14 guests at any one time are served by 33 full time staff – and this week, I’m the only guest (they call me “Mr John”, and ask me “how are you?”, without actually knowing what that means) … ah, the joys of low season tourism. Instead of dodgy tents, each guest/family has a secluded chalet: 50-100 metres from anyone else, with own private outdoor eco-bathroom (with included stone bathtub!) and “drop toilet”. Check this out …
… some chalets also have their own private lagoon (sounds crazy, huh, but land is in absolute abundance here, as is water!). Great place to play guitar and do quiet times.
… You would not believe how beautiful the water here is. The temperature is perfect; and it’s all freshwater – you can literally drink and swim at the same time (though if you’re with other people, you need to make sure they’re not the kind who, um, do more than drink the water).
Each day we have each meal in a luxurious location – tonight it was on the beach, surrounded by lanterns for light during the night, under an amazing night sky (seeing we’re numerous plane hours away from civilization, this is hard to believe). I can even see the southern cross from here! At 5:30pm each day, we’re also treated to sunset drinks at a different water-bound location – coke and popcorn never tasted so good …
I think this will be lots of fun.
Blessings,
John (that’s ‘Mr John’ to you)
