Twenty minutes in a taxi from the border saw us pulling off the dusty road and into the Midas Resort. Work was being done to extend the office so we made our way through the workmen and wet cement to be welcomed by a very jolly lady. As we followed her to our room, she pointed out where breakfast was served, “no other food here but the local eatery is happy to deliver and well worth the phone call from the pool”. Bear had done well organising our Passport stamp renewal trip - boy did good in fact. It’s really a pink job, I was press-ganged into this and I want to hand the task back. Yes Dear.

We were led past a great sink, followed a jungle path and were soon settled in our comfortable hut

Bear unrolled the hammock and out popped our first visitor, soon followed by Rusty, one of the resort dogs and a pretty moth

A closer look showed this chap to be about five feet long and quite handsome

Soon settled it was time to find the pool. Paulo the barman, who soon had Mudslides off to a fine art told us that “the main building was having another floor added and the place was being built around us”. Not a problem to us, we can watch people work from a sun bed all day.

Within minutes Paulo turned on the waterfall, told us to duck underneath to find a shady spot behind. We would be joined by people paying to use the pool for the day but we never saw more than half a dozen.

ALL IN ALL A GREAT PLACE TO SPEND A FEW DAYS
