Rock View is gorgeous and really a model for other hospitality establishments. There’s an extensive garden of cashew and mango trees, purple cabbage, shallots, and golden apples (see picture). As you would expect, the food is quite delicious here and quite a novelty compared to Bina Hill’s kitchen where we eat a lot of starches like rice, plantains, and bread with very few fresh vegetables or fruits.
To start the week-end, we had a lovely 1.5 hour horseback riding excursion (see picture). Lisa successfully cantered for the first time on a horse! With all the distractions in Toronto, it has also been some time since both of us simply sat down and read. TV/YouTube really can’t compare to your imagination.
Upon some deeper reflection, the Lodge really has highlighted renewed appreciation for certain things that we tend to take for granted:
1. Clean drinking water
2. Unlimited toilet paper
3. FAN – this really makes a huge difference
4. Electricity all day with hot water!
5. A bathroom adjacent the bedroom
6. A malaria free zone negating the use of a mosquito net
7. Refrigerated items like milk
8. Coffee drinks
9. Reliable transportation like public buses
10. Basically…home! There’s no place like it.
