Papa popped over to the Chini lake yesterday out of curiousity. The resort seems to be in a state of suspended animation for renovation works. So there seem to be no rooms available , and the canteen (can't call it anything else) is not there anymore. The sole Indonesian worker we say didn't have a clue as to what was happening on site. Papa notice pilings for a jetty/pier. The wooden jetty is to be replaced by... guess what?
The upgrade was depressingly "concrete"- with each "improvement" inflicted on the lake, an intangible "something else" is taken from it. Even my not so environmentally sensitive buddy said,"This is not environmentally sensitive. Its going to look out of place."
Papa took a shot of the wooden pier before that too is gone. It was a hot lazy afternoon, no activity in sight.
