He has secured us the existing house, across the road, for another year, so we are going to start there. We are going to build onto the bathroom and revamp the kitchen, clean up the rest of the house and build six or seven beds and lockers.
Then we will start up the hostel - small at first to see how we get along with it.
He has also decided to buy a car from Enrique and Sofi, because a truck is just too damn expensive. They will be buying a truck and we should have some use of it when necessary.
At the same time, we will start building on our property, just the main house at first.
Nico has done some invetigating while he's been there and it turns out it is not going to be as cheap as we first thought - same as with any building project, right? - but it is also not going to cost us the earth.
We chat online when he gets himself in front of a computer back in town. It is a strange feeling knowing that he is there, right now, working on our little project, chatting to Enrique and Sofi on a daily basis, spending our money...
I cannot express how excited I am about all of this, still a little scared and very nervous, but so very, very excited.

Exciting stuff. Can I still play chef for a couple of weeks?
Absolutely!
I've tasted your cooking.
