I am currently staying at the Amanjiwo (which on balance is a very good thing). When lounging at the pool, all of a sudden part of the brick facing next to the pool came crashing down
- luckily into a flowerbed, so there was no chance of someone getting hurt
.
While I am not exactly an Amanjunkie, I really do like the Amans. Although on days like this, I like the software more than the hardware. While I appreciate it is certainly not an easy feat to build a hotel like the Amanjiwo in such a remote place (ok, still easier than building the Begawan Giri
), sometimes I get the impression that while the Amans are very well maintained, they lack investment in refurbishments. And the concrete exposed under the pool crescent did not inspire great trust in build quality.
Oh, of course the he best thing about the event was an English lady's wry comment, well "that would explain a thing ot two about the Borobudur ruins"
