The end must be getting close now, when all will be revealed. They've starting tarting up the corner that I've been thinking might be a cafeteria area.

Towards the end of our walk today, we had a bit of building excitement. 2 new septic tanks had arrived to join the 2 already on the concrete septic tank platform.

One was already beside the platform waiting to be launched into the water, There was a crew on the pathway, and another crew on the platform, which had been accessed by the recently installed ladder.

Next came the fun bit, watching them launch a tank into the lake. I was expecting a crane, but 4 strong men managed it.

It was actually almost just that. The trick was getting it in the water without water rushing into the 2 large holes at the top. They managed it with about 1cm to spare.

More finishing touches yesterday - they're starting to connect a proper power supply from the shore, 2 men in a boat, with a huge cable, bolting it to the wall.

Just another white elephant/condo. Built during Covid, but only 2 units taken - 1 Air BNB lets, and 1 a sales office. They are currently building a Condo about 6 times the size just to the left. An even larger white elephant I'd expect.

They are also building a series of low level buildings right along the West bank. I wonder if they will ever be occupied.

At last, they've got the plastic glue plumbers in. I would guess, when the plumbing is complete, the building will be complete, and ready to move in. I regularly look for a sign, saying what the building is, but still no clues.

That makes more sense to me than a museum, thank you. Whatever it is, we should find out very soon.

I had a walk around the lake and surrounding area last month and the name of a new villa behind the lake amused me:
