Giardino e-News #02

Jul-Nov 2009

Dear Friends and Colleagues in Tourism

The Giardino e-News #02 comes to you delayed and from me, Sam, directly, as there is currently no PR Manager to assist me.
Unfortunately, sadness is often the companion of great joy ... I have to start off with the sad news that Ornella left for the Rainbow Bridge in September 2009. Only three-and-a-half years young, she succumbed to a malicious, fast-progressing type of cancer and is terribly missed.
Since the Giardino isn't really complete without a Bernese Mountain Dog around, we immediately started searching for a successor - and what a mission that turned out to be, due to short supply! However, we found the little fellow on the right, a whole of 2 days old & 543 grams light, and are anxiously awaiting "his" arrival from Germany in Jan. 2010.

More "Bernese News" can be found on the "Sandmännchen Page" and scattered around our website - there are other updates too, under feedback amongst others!

On a general note, well, what can be said about this strange year in Namibia, not only on the weather front?! It seems we were one of the lucky few who did not experience dwindling visitor numbers, and bookings for the summer holiday season ook fine too. A special big Thank You goes to everyone who helped ensure that the Giardino is still in great shape!
Please do keep up the good work, as we expect 2010 to get even tougher ...  Read more

We finished the gazebo still before this year's high season and guests are thoroughly enjoying this shaded retreat in our gardens. We also started replacing the reed ceiling panels in guest rooms with proper wooden ones.

Furthermore, I'd like once more to call upon everyone who likes to receive our Giardino News every few months to PLEASE Subscribe to it so that we can build a proper opt-in list!
At this stage, we are regrettably unable to verify email addresses and to exclude recipients who are not interested, if they they did not yet
Unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list.
Please let's sort this out for 2010 - shall we? THANKS!

Don't forget to visit our product manual, the "Giardino On-line Guide", once in a while ... we did not yet see our booking agents make much use of the nice info pages published since May although guests love them!

I guess it will be 2010 until we write again. From all of us to all of you, enjoy your well-earned holidays and a marvellous festive season!
Thanks again for your much appreciated support and kind regards


Sam & the Giardino Team
