Waking up in a place like that in the early morning must have been just as magical. The birds singing, the clean air, the natural light. It must have been so hard to leave that place eventually.

Such an inspiring place. I was thiking of wrting a little essay about my time there, but it seems a bit self-indulgent.

Edit: I forgot to mention - when you said about waking up there - it reminds me first arrivnig. A 45 minute walk from the nearest village where we hadn't arrived until just after sunset. Stumbling around the hillside and entrance, making makeshift beds and noticing for the first time how mysterious it is arriving somewhere new in the dark. No idea really where you are until daybreak - waking up in a completely new environment.

If you ask me, a place and an experience like that is begging to be written about. I'd love to read it.
