Rustic camps are good, but SP must adjust their rates for these new self rustified rustic accommodation units! O** \O


Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

This is all new! But in line with the "Vision"... O**

No. 2 is probably a repetition/admin cockup, and No. 1 could refer to Tsendze upgrade or something? 0-

Personally, I think it's fine and spread out, and shouldn't have too big an impact? Tsendze has obviously set an example!
