Hotel Muller now has vacancies

Yes this is true, we are now have vacancies at Hotel Muller … I am thinking of making it easier for people to book and start selling the room on wotif.com??????

Not long after Robert and Elizabeth had left, we had just enough time to remake the bed before more friends checked in. Stacie and Adrian visited us for a couple on nights on their way from the UK back to OZ. It was great to catch up with them and find out about their time spent working in the UK and all the traveling they did around Europe and other places. To be honest I don’t have enough room on this blog site or quite enough time to mention all the places they have visited … I think the only place they haven’t ventured to is a 1 x 1 metre patch of sand in the middle of the Mediterranean which is only accessible during low tide and when the moon is full.

More Visitors

Hotel Muller was able to open its doors once again to welcome more friends for Australia. It was great to have Robert and Elizabeth come and join us for about 10 days in Zimbabwe. We picked these guys up from Vic Falls airport and spent a couple of days chilling around Vic Falls seeing the locals sights and witnessing the master of negotiation (Robert) as he went around the local markets bartering like a true local. To be honest I am used to seeing a more firing negotiation style as Jodi normally goes straight for the jugular and does not give up until she gets what she wants … Robert on the other hand has a more relaxed negotiation technique … different methodologies … both generally have a fairly good outcome.

After our adventures around the Falls we were able to take Robert and Elizabeth out to Willow Park and showed them what we have been up to this year. I have to pass on a HUGE thanks to these guys because they were eager to get in and help with some painting. Our aim was to get four of the dorm window frames and doorframes painted in a few hours … this task is a lot more time consuming than what we first expected with the dark brown gloss paint… instead of completing four we did get one done in our time out there. I have to admit though … the job that was done on that one dorm was done with meticulous care and precision and looks an absolute treat.

The time spent with Robert and Elizabeth was fantastic, it was great to catch up with them and find out all the things that have been happening back in Brisbane since we have left.
