Cool FlyerEC! We dropped by Amanusa for lunch last time before catching our plane. The resort feels slightly busier than Kila and Jiwo, and we were sandwiched between two tables of fairly loud Aussies and very noisy American teenagers....
Service was slow, my raspberry sorbet was melted already when it reached by table 
Food was excellent though ^
Thanks LarkSFO, going up the Merapi through the ruins was a surreal experience...
And we did the Dagi hill breakfast as well, complete with watercolour and all the trimmings
Dagi Hill looking over Borobudur
My partner having an artistic moment

Thanks for the photos.. Still have not figured how to post..
Think no time for Dari this trip.
For awhile, 4 of us were the only ones at lunch at Nusa , then another couple.
Our soursop & mango sorbets survived despite the heat
Now relaxing on the Kila beach - slight breeze - way too hot at tiered pools.
Glorious first day of CNY here with red buntings - white yesterday.
Beach club pool is fine :-:
Great chatting with Claudia S - pre -opening Amanpuri team '87 -
^ & Liam O' - chef

gratuity to professor?
im wondering about at other aman incl jiwo(borobudur)..
sara has advertised special guests along those lines - i had kind of regretted not doing one..
cant remember if jiwo had something similar, only remembering wellness retreats
giri mentioned this kind of thing originally, then removed >

(Destination Management Companies etc are also option, but definitely fees, potentially very high, even if worth it)
