It’s been an exciting few weeks for the Le Nautique crew as construction is now well and truely underway on our new hotel project “Le Nautique La Digue”.
For us as a family it’s the start of an exciting new era and we couldn’t be happier to see where it takes us and of course to share the journey with you.
We have been kept very busy in preparation for construction, travelling to and from site on Cat Cocos (even braving rough seas), loading and unloading tons and tons of supplies, chopping down trees, tidying and levelling the site, measuring and cutting steel (and getting extremely dirty in the process), preparing concrete mixes and overseeing the foundation construction (it helps having an engineer and builder in the family).
As you can see we’re a family that really likes to get stuck in rather than watch from the sidelines – for us its all part of the experience and the journey and we love to get amongst it.
We will keep you posted on how the project progresses from stage to stage, however in the meantime here are a few photos of what’s been happening these past few weeks.
From where it all began…. the old shack

We are sure it will be a peace of heaven! We hope we last the distance to check it out! Love from us both.
