Thought I would treat myself and colleagues to a nice final day lunch at the fabled Banyan Tree .
Man, this place is more expensive than Banyan Tree in Maldives, Thailand and Cambodia .
Prepare more than USD60 per person for a good lunch (without wine )
As per Banyan Tree standards, the place looked and felt gorgeous
Not for the budget traveller...... you could spend an entire week's food budget on a single meal here.
Taxi driver had a hard time finding his way here... a little remote
Leaving the hotel, maybe it was our bad luck.... Taxi driver wanted 50rmb for a 10min ride back to Old Town (maybe he knew he was the only taxi waiting to pick up old passangers and Banyan charges double that for private car service into town).....
