BLOG: Our stay at CasKaffeSu
The trip to Mindo: Mud slides from heavy rains
Our vehicle was one of the last to cross before the road was closed
Mud and boulders were tumbling down the side of the mountain.
In January part of the road caved in and disappeared into the valley below.
Finally, we arrived at CasKaffeSu!
An orchid greeted us as we went upstairs to our room
A view of the courtyard
A lovely garden setting
Orchids growing everywhere
Our favourite table .... overlooking the spectacular Bird of Paradise. It was frequently visited by hummingbirds.
Another view from our table
A bench in the garden
Clouds rolled in mid afternoon (very predictable)
Gardens were lush
An orchid growing beside our favourite table
There were also a variety of birds
The hummingbirds loved to sip nectar from the Bird of Paradise
