21 July 2006: GROUND BREAKING!!

 

Through a very scratchy satellite phone connection, Andrew has informed me that ground has been broken at Batbitim Island!! I suspect it wasn't with a gold plated spade and a bottle of champagne, but nevertheless we're all very excited. Construction of the dive centre is now underway.

 

15 July 2006: Misool Eco Resort gets its very first employees

Andrew, Tuta, Thorben, have finally reached Batbitim Island. They've set up a very rough camp on the north beach with a few tents and a makeshift 'kitchen' in which to boil their instant noodles. Certainly roughing it, but with such a spectacular view all to themselves, I'm sure they're quite content.

The new speedboat was taken on her virgin voyage to the neighbouring village, which took about 2 hours to reach. They found a handful of willing workers to help with the construction, so now their little camp has more than doubled in size!
