We lived in Gabane, in the thatch house on the top of the hill. My wife somehow stumbled across your site, and recognized your photos of that unmistakable view from our back yard! If you don't mind me asking about our old homestead, did you peek into the house? Did they fix the hole in the roof? Was anybody living there? We lived in that house for most of the year, until we were finally evicted by axe-wielding serial robbers. When we left, there was some talk by the owners of putting up a fence of some kind. Did you see if they got around to that? Anyway, it was wonderful to see someone else appreciate that wonderful little village (axe gang notwithstanding). If you ever get back there, I would highly recommend going to the Mountain Liquor Restaurant for a beer and a steak. Tell Noki and Gunner that Amy and Jose from the house on the hill say howzit. Cheers, Jose Hagan Hi Lindsey and Rachel,
