The last week before I'm back on site!

While my wonderful neighbour Zeger continues to make his almost daily 'recce' trips down to the project, snapping away from his many angles - day by day 'the project' is becoming less and less of a building site and more and more like the finished 'Jungle Villa Retreat' that was originally sketched out all those months ago... With this excitement unveiling (or downloading) before my eyes is the anxiety to be back on site for those last few weeks, so as the bamboo doors continue to be installed, the toilets fitted, the glass finished wiped clean, the final electricity wires threaded and the floor of the infinity basin of the plunge pool poured, here we are in Europe preparing our shopping trips - that will inevitably include the traditional Panama visit(s) as well as our many 'to-do' lists...

In the meantime, enjoy a few of Zeger great photos and keep your eyes posted for the launch of the new-look Pura Vida Ecolodge website hopefully in the coming week!

West-facing jungle canopy deck - just about showing the soon to be finished plunge pool at the back

A busy Friday at the project - with the window and doors contractors both on site with their teams

The teak & bamboo sliding panels are slowly installed to the open-plan living area

Ground floor - the sliding doors are eventually added to what is now the almost complete en-suite bedroom number 1

The plunge pool has had its block laid to deck level and the infinity basin is now being laid

View of the back of the Jungle Villa from the deck of the plunge pool

More views of the Jungle Canopy on what seemed to be a very sunny Friday morning

The front sliding panels are installed bit by bit

A peak inside shows Billy Josue adding the locks to the wooden columns

The ocean view through the window of the master bedroom - an on-site tidy up still very much necessary ;)

Downstairs bathroom almost complete - just the glass panels in the shower to come

Pura Vida - Costa Rica!
