Turtle Bay Hideaway

Thanks John Steiner for getting us in touch with most cool Emerald Starr. We met him at his Turtle Bay Hideaway, toured the masterfully built traditional Sulawesi cottages and pools, organic gardens, had an amazing lunch. I told him the only problem I had with the food was my mind was conflicted about which dish was best. More about Emerald later.


Dessert was a tour of the place where they ferment the incomparable Uforia Chocolate with Peter, cacao master whom Kelly, a true chocolate officianado said answered every unanswered question he had about chocolate.
