junior collected me from the airport, arranged sims too. he shared lots of information about the area. we exchanged contact details to organise another experience. the retreat provided a quiet night after i enjoyed a tilapia dinner at the restaurant.

i had booked seven months in advance and it was confirmed the week before. this disruption required me to spend time finding alternative accommodation and affected my morning.
