After check out this morning, four of us went out as tourists to take a step back in time. Completely self-sufficient, the >700 year history of this holding has included both private and religious ownership. For what should be obvious reasons, I was a bit more interested in the fiber aspects than the plumbing.
Since flash was not allowed, several of the photos are darker than I would really have preferred.

We met the rest of the group at one of the beach clubs for lunch, relaxation and water time for those who wanted a last swim before flying home.
