Sunrise at the Horizon

This is a beautiful set of photos at sunrise in Senaru at the Horizon. There are plenty more photos, but we have just been a bit busy lately to get anything posted! We are excited as construction is soon to begin on the villa, we are just finalising some funds.

Promise to post a few more photos soon. Just trying out some new plugins in Wordpress to make this a little easier for me. Quite a challenge that. These are being brought over from Flickr and I’m still experiencing some problems. Sorry if they don’t load for you, but the sunrise really is quite beautiful!

A visit in the high season

We are thrilled to be returning to Senaru in virtually the middle of the year and in high season. This will really give us a chance to see the restuarant in action, and to settle on the final plans for the first villa so construction can begin.

BB and I are really looking forward to this. We can only afford a week there, but that’s the longest we will have stayed in the village for some time. We are hoping it will be enough to really get an understanding of how the place is running too – and give us time to talk to all of the staff and Ayu and see how they are getting on.

But all reports have been fairly positive and the rate of customers at the restaurant seems to be quite good.

So we’ll obviously have more photos to post on our return. Can’t wait to get there!

Work continues on the development

Work continues apace on the site. We have just started on some erosion control through a retaining wall as well as some renovation to the restaurant kitchen now that Ayu has been working in it for a while and knows what she needs.

They work fast up there in Senaru and so this is all looking really good as you can see from the photos that Ayu has sent us. We’re looking forward to going back to check on the progress. We make a decision in a few weeks about exactly when that will be. But for now all we can do is look at these photos and wish we were back there.

Off topic but worth mentioning

Windows Live Writer is a great new tool for uploading to blogs. It has interoperability with a number of blogging tools. We use Blogger and set up was relatively straightforward. It’s a WYSIWYG editor that has the feel of a word processor. Meaning you can just type away and see how the page will look. On the page. Very neat. You can upload images very easily, a la… Resizing them is dead easy. You can get this neat little program at Windows Live Writer. The nay sayers on other blogs are moaning, but I’m happy, I just need a simple editor for the web that doesn’t have all the log in hassle of Blogger. See what you think and happy blogging (maybe this will mean I can get more blogs up here!)
