We headed east to the hills, where there are waterfalls and they grow coffee, and, just as importantly, being 1,000 meters higher it is 10 degrees cooler. And indeed, as we headed up, the thermometer headed down.
It was not long before we were at the first waterfall, and a very nice one it was. And right there at the waterfall was a hotel so we decided to checkin. Unfortunately the check in process turned into an ever increasing spiral of issues. The manager was incredibly unfriendly and towards the end threatening and that was that. We left.
The very good news: another 40 kms down the road was a truly awesome hotel, where we felt extremely welcome. The ‘Sinouk Coffee Resort’ is part of a coffee Plantation, so of course we had a lot of coffee while we were there. The grounds were lovely and we spent the afternoon enjoying them, reading and talking to other guests and patrons.
Later that night we enjoyed a wonderful view of the night sky and had a crystal clear view of the stars. So nice to be away from the constant haze of the plains.
