It appears that they have started the groundwork at the Cairnbaan hotel. I wonder how it will look.
The remains of the old extension structure of the Cairbaan hotel. Not much to see

It looks like another busy year for us. Bookings already coming in 6 weeks before the canal opens for the summer season. Took a mid June booking today.😀 Really looking forward to seeing old and new clients this year.
