Little Red Dave gets his reward

My Borneo trip is now over (backdated blog entries to follow) and so today I transferred to the Magellan part of the sprawling five-star Sutera Resort. This was my treat for finishing the fun and frenetic Borneo component of my trip and boy is it a treat! I got here at 9:30 and they informed that a) my room was ready and b) I'd been upgraded. To a suite. Dave couldn't believe it and neither could I. Here's some - inadequate - photos.

Photo: Living room - just off it is the dining room and the first balcony. Yes, I said 'first'

Photo: First balcony 


Photo: 'Powder Room'

Photo: Bedroom -  Door to the second balcony is next to the recliner

Photo: Bedroom with view of second balcony

Photo: View of main bathroom from bedroom

 
Photo: Main bathroom - shower is to the left and behind me is the second toilet 


Photo: Where I will be with a book for most of tomorrow.

But the most truly amazing thing about this room? It has a clothesline so you can handwash. I've seen things in my time but a resort that encourages hand washing rather than an extraordinarily-priced laundry service... amazing.

WOW! You shouldn't be doing this bit alone. Your mother should be with you!

ABC Whovian Site Manager said...

Hi there. I've just been trying to track down ABC Message Board users who may not have known that it closed down last month. With the help of google I found you and thought that maybe you were someone who went by the name audienceofone and genfie on the ABC message board. If you are then I'd like to let you know that I've started up a new site called ABC Whovians. It was originally set up just for Doctor Who fans but has grown to become something like the old ABC Have Your say site. Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know, if you would like to join up- it is at http://abcwhovians.webs.com
