We got up later than normal today- which was nice. We headed to Plantation Lodge, which was supposingly the most insanely nice place we were going to stay the whole trip. When we got here and were taken to our "rooms" we all about DIED. This place is amazing. It is one large house, called the Garden House. There are 2 large rooms with 3 beds upstairs and 2 large rooms downstairs with 2 double beds. Each room has an extremely nice bathroom and little sitting area. Upstairs in the living room/den there is a fireplace open with a large seating area that opens to these stairs that go down overlooking a massive dining room space with a 15 foot long table. It could easily seat 12..if not more. The 2 downstairs room feed off of that room as well as a large deck at the end of that room and 2 side patios. On the side of the stairs, there is also a small reading library. I really love this place and could totally die a happy woman living in this "house."
We had the afternoon off and enjoyed it by going to the pool. The pool had these amazing lounge chairs that were made like beds. We had a Tusker (beer) and just relaxed. It was our second to last night and we really wanted to live it up, besides we had our own house! Somehow the night turned into a little party. The bar at this place was amazing. It had a see through table top that looked down into a wine cellar, where there was a small table that you could have dinner at. From drinks before dinner, we then went to dinner, which was amazing. After dinner, we went back to the bar and all really bonded. We were all sad that the trip was coming to an end. The night ended in a dance party at the Garden House (I think we made too much noise, but we had a blast).
