Today was a lot easier than yesterday. We walked another 11km, taking us about 5 hours to get to Sean's Guesthouse situated at Walnut Grove. I was glad to arrive at Sean's given that I had had enough of the trekking and just wanted to relax and take it easy. Sean's guesthouse provided just that and was a welcome retreat from the basic facilities of our last guesthouse. Given that Ronald, John and I are rotating with the single room, I was lucky to score the single room at Sean's guesthouse. A beautiful room, lookign over the towering mountains of the TLG.
Today I met Luzu... the most amazing 6 year old I've ever come across. Along with the other two woman, Luzu looked after me through out my time at Sean's Guesthouse. She peeled my potatoes, collected my dishes, washed them, served me, smiled, and played games. A real treat, and definitely rates up there as one of the most amazing people I've met on this trip, despite her tender age! I just could not believe how domesticated she was, given her age and she sure did entertain the other tourists at Sean's Guesthouse.
The food was delicious... both Asian and Western, I splurged on all the good things including pizza, chips, burritoes and Asian. Even though the Guesthouse was isolated, everything was on offer including the internet, beer, spirits, chocolate etc etc.
There weren't too many other tourists staying at Sean's, but it was still nevertheless a highlight of my trip staying at this superbly located hostel.
