Our group only learned of the book after our 2 night stay. We are all quite anxious to read the Last Resort It was a lovely area of Zim. Our accomodations were simple, we cooked our meals outside and took our showers in the main building because it had a generator and could heat water. Our little cottage was very simple and most of the time we had no electricity, hense no hot water. The bar seems to draw weary travelers in the evening or at least thirsty travelers. There were 11 of us women from USA with a Zim guide. We found it a very interesting place. For myself, I would stay there again, it was fun.
