Each week Ocean Blue Resorts visits the
site for a progress update.

When we restarted the construction seven
weeks ago, all we had were the foundations in place. The 7 hectare site was
just a couple of dirt tracks cut into the hill with only the promise of things
to come.
Since then, progress has been rapid. The
new village at Teanjah Bay looks 55/60% completed. From Gili Sunut you have clearly see two
distinct villages in the making. Followers of the blog will remember that we
had to stop work on the first village at Teanjah Anjah due to one individual
claiming the land belonged to him. And while he lost the court case in Lombok,
he went to appeal in Jakarta in his bid to disrupt our progress. So there stood
the community’s new village, 80% completed and unusable. As a result Ocean Blue
Resorts Indonesia and the community started the whole process again of building
a second village next to the first.  |

For the last two weeks, a team of workers have
been carefully removing all the terracotta roof tiles, door frames and window
frames from the first site (Teanjah Anjah) and is reusing them at the new
village (Teanjah Bay). This has saved a lot of time in sourcing materials and
transportation costs. Not to mention being good for the environment.
Here are some of last weeks photos. The
transformation speaks for its self.
