Our travels are rarely about relaxation, so we thought we'd give it a try, in a scenic locale, warm, un-bothered, with limited recreation and excursion opportunities, good food, and a superb reputation. So far, after a day,
Nanuya Island Resort, capacity 24 guests, no children, is living up to expectations. It's a bit pricey for us, but then we've just finished eleven weeks' roughing it in New Zealand and deserve a break. Among the other guests we have met, there are several couples from Oz, two from Sweden, and one from Deutschland-u-A. No backpackers. Oh, it's a "deluxe villa," not a cabin.

The tall coconut palms indeed are laden with
their fruit |

Fortunately, you can open any that don't
fall on your head; let's see, Carole, Dad
always used a hammer and an icepick, right? |

sky-chair... |

Interior, lounge, bar, dining area; so far, the food selection
has been fairly eclectic, and pretty fresh, especially the local
fruit and seafood...and surprisingly affordable |

Why did I not know you had another stop before coming back to the USA? Somehow I thought you were on your way home to get that new motor home!
I have a hard time keeping up with the travel schedule myself; and, oh, BTW, the RV deal is off. We changed our plans...
New Time Magazine says that Shigeru Ban's "Cardboard Cathedral" in Christchurch won the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize! I would never have heard of it if I had not seen it on your blog!
So...what are the new plans sans the RV?
Your cabin looks gorgeous! Glad you are treating yourself to some R&R after your camping trip through NZ. Can't wait to see you on Sunday!
