Helicopter in, Buggy out

The sublime and the ridiculous as guests arriving by private helicopter are collected by our buggy.

Our guests and their luggage are transferred from their car to their tent in our little buggy, jokingly referred to as the Truffle Lodge Taxi, after one of the workmen made a sign out of a yoghurt container lid and attached it to the buggy – and because we like a good laugh, we decided to leave it there.

So when arriving guests’ ‘car’ is a helicopter, the little Truffle Lodge Taxi putt-putts out to meet them, right on cue. It is so funny to watch and even funnier to hear – you don’t hear the buggy coming , drowned out as it is by the roar of the heicopter. But once the helicopter shuts down and the buggy roars into action to tranfer the guests, the audio joke is as funny as the visual.
