To satiate your cultural and historical curiosity, one may take a day trip into town. Excursions to the dam wall, learning of the construction of this feat of engineering, a visit to the chapel as well as time with local residents in the township; a day out providing understanding and perspective of the area and its people. Head back to the lodge late afternoon to embark on a catamaran cruise, literally sailing into the sunset.
