I have just stumbled across your blog rec...Hi Alena<br />I have just stumbled across your blog recording your stay at our eco lodge in Quissico last December. <br />It is an unfortunate part of owning a lodge that we occasionally end up accommodating guests who’s extreme arrogance and inflated sense of their own self importance not only diminish their ability to recognise or appreciate other human beings ways of living that differ from their own, also allows them to publish inaccurate information and some incredibly slanderous comments. As someone that rarely drinks alcohol I wonder how Niels could have been often times drunk. Also amusing is the inflexibility and lack of preparation guests to Mozambique show in their demands for local people to be as they expect, to speak a language that you understand and to jump to your every whim, which is what the majority of your blog appears to write about. I see that your blog doesn’t mention anything about last minute changes to your travel plans. I am unaware of any lodge that does not have terms and conditions of cancellation of bookings, particularly in their peak season. Or how little research was done to know what you were booking or how to get there, or that the information detailing everything that was emailed to you seemed to be ignored. Or that the lodge was built purely by the man you so eagerly berate over a 7 year journey of absolute determination, blood, sweat and tears, a passion to create a place of beauty in harmony with our environment, and with great respect to the local community. I hope you age well Alena and that you never have the opportunity to find that some stranger feels it is acceptable to write such hurtful and scathing comments about your own appearance. Or about you in general when they have absolutely no idea of your history, what you may have been through in life. We are in fact still very much together doing the best that we can in the lives that we have chosen, being the best partners, parents and hosts that we can, whilst continually learning what works and what doesn’t. The lodge was only open for one year at the time of your stay. Fortunately, the majority of the time we continue to receive guests who are a pleasure to meet and who have great words of recommendation about LaGoa Eco Village.<br />I have no idea about your upbringing, I wonder though what parent would be proud to read that their own child could write such cruel and damning comments in such a public forum. <br />Lagoa Eco Villagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630488322992527337noreply@blogger.com
