We decided to got out as a family on Monday night with nobody else accompanying us, as every time we have eaten out so far has been with lots of other people. With the Chinese New Year rapidly approaching and the shortage of food only two places where available. We choose to go to Rumah Tinggi (The Tall house, Chris Freeman had told me, and tall house it is in fact)We had an amazing night eating beautiful food, under the tropical night, that was cooked perfectly, it was as good as the food we eat at home. The photo to the right shows the lawn below us, and the the palm trees, you can not see, there is a extremely large cliff down the the sea.
Chris and I discussed with the kids, what the favorite parts of the trip had been, and got really interesting answers.
Both kids, loved the jumping off the piers, seeing the crabs, exploring the caves, snorkeling off the coast.
Chris loved the walk to the Golf course look out, the people she got to meet, and the friendliness of both the locals, who love their island, and the imported workers who are here for just a short period of time, and yet are willing to open up and be friendly.
I loved the openness of the island, the amazing friendliness of the locals, and the fantastic beauty of this island.
After we returned home, we interrupted a car-park party with the interpreters who had all decided to have a cook-a-thon, and then dance the night away, so the special night was extended as we talked to people from all round the world, who at this time and place had been brought together because of a job, and yet took the time to share their culture with everybody else.
I was full from Rumah Tinggi, and despite the smells from the food being overpowering, I was unable to cram anything else into my stomach, so we just danced
We had a great time, before we retired to bed.
