Also in Moorea Seamus O’Brien wrote a wonderful piece on his Sikkim
adventure and he is going back for a third visit in the autumn. We usually visit
Kilmacurragh when the rhododendrons are in bloom so this will be a chance to
see the herbaceous borders and Seamus will tell us of future plans. It is planned
to have a cafe at Kilmacurragh from July. We will keep you informed via the
web site of how these plans are progressing and it might be nice for us to be
sociable and have lunch before our tour.
