Where Eagles Dare

Finally we arrive at our destination – Wildflower Hall.

It’s a grand old hotel which used to be Lord Kitcheners residence. It even has an infinity hot tub perched on the side of the mountain (which I guess was added after the old guy lived there). Everything about it is exceptional, but the high point for Memsahib is when the chef comes out at dinner to inform us that the menu is more of a guideline than a set list and he’s happy to make anything we want – I resist the temptation to ask “Like Burger King?”

Mr Kapur then spends the post dinner digestive session attempting to set a new record for the number of logs fetched and burnt in a single evening. “More logs, more logs” – the cry rings into the night way past the point we retire, having secured all windows as warned against Miss Julias nemesis – monkeys.
