Finally, we're almost done!!!





It has been quite a ride... but we're almost there!

We have just under three weeks to go and we are back on schedule. We have unfortunately had to change construction teams, as it became clear in mid May that the first team had no intention of getting the project completed in time and were starting to seriously drag their feet.

It is so good to see how much progress has taken place over the past two weeks alone, the restaurant has been moved in just over a week, the tiling is 70% done and the bungalows look so cute with their traditional exterior wall lining (coconut leafs). The woven coconut leafs were prepared by the people of the nearby villages in record time (great effort), and it helped that we have had almost no rain during the past two weeks, as it is not a good idea to climb a coconut tree when it has rained.

As the completion (in time for July 1st) now has to be our foremost priority, we have no time to spare, which unfortunately means that this will most probably be the only blog update for June. The next update will likely take place in the first week of July (after the opening).

The pictures on the right show the Restaurant going back up again and two different perspectives of the bungalows.
