The Honeymoon Suite at Urikaruus is almost done. A few more window panes need to be added and the kitchen work top is not in yet.
But it's supposed to be happening this week. And if the noise we heard at Kieliekrankie when dropping something off there is anything
to go by, people staying at Urikaruus this week will not enjoy it. Especially the residents in unit number one as this is closest to the
building site. We were extremely lucky that everyone had gone of to work at Kielie last week and the only thing we notices was increased
traffic into Uri. But then again, as long as you get tourists who think they can use the camp as a picnic site whereas the proper one is
only 5 kays down the road, the additional cars don't really matter.
The unit itself is hardly visible as it was - I hate to admit it... - cleverly built into the surrounding trees. All you can make out is a bit
of the roof and the fencing of the car port. Apparently, the new unit is insulated and sealed as in no holes to keep the bats out. (That
insulation thing will be part of the renovation thing for the other units, too.) From what I could see, the parking area will be huuuge
which makes sense when you know that the new unit only got one level, with bedroom not being separated from the kitchen. There is
still a view of the waterhole we were told although I found that hard to imagine, considering the angle the unit was built. But I don't
expect the Uri Boys to tell fibs, so waterhole view it is.
Even though Charlie Fax has moved out of the camp, she still lives in the dunes behind the attendant's unit and the road and the builders
had seen her every morning between 6.30 and 7.00 am. As soon as the builders were gone, she came down to the camp, showing off
her cute puppies.
Activity at the waterhole is still good too, but I noticed that the squirrels have moved off a bit further into the riverbed.
Bird life also still prolific. All in all, I'm still not enchanted by this building but it seems there was less impact that I had feared.
