After a little Christmas season break back to the work. 

As build-in cupboards are ready now there comes Pete´s most favourite part of the work – wood. And as many other things all over the bungalows the working top is going to be made of very durable and beautifull mango wood.  A bit of sanding now, varnish, oil and…isn´t the finish amazing? 

All done and ready to be washed, choped, boiled, baked, stired and fried in 🙂

And once Pete starts to build he cannot stop. 

The third house, Komba, needed a kitchen…so why not to try something new this time? Big outdoor kitchen area. Real place to gather and spent time with family and friends, cooking, eating, drinking, laughing, living.

And so the drawing is on the paper and preparations begin…

Palm tree trunks to hold the roof, concrete floor, and finally a first bit of roof goes on for so much needed piece of shade … to be continued… 🙂

Future reception and public toilet and shower are almost ready.

 Planting 15 banana trees  today 🙂
We aim to grow as much fruits and vegetables as possible on the land here at the lodge and  slowly create a kitchen garden, which will provide for our future restaurant.
