The very last location we were in, we stayed in a nice little guest house- clean and cheap.
We enjoyed it a lot, although we were in a very urban place, the little guest house was down at the end of a lane, so it felt just off the beaten path.
We had the end room which was great because our windows looked out on a waterway where boats zipped by. See here it is....
There were water taxis that would zip by. We took one in another part of town one day- lots of fun. 
Here is a dead coconut tree just out side our window.
The downside of our end room was this guy-
Let's call him the early bird. He lived just outside our window. I don't know what it is with us and roosters, but they do seem to show up a lot when we are travelling. And this brings me to my next point- the person who coined the onomatapia - "cock-a-doodle-doo" never had a rooster. They had never come near a rooster. He lived in a city in North America and never came in contact with anything resembling a rooster. I'm sorry. No. "Cock-a-doodle-doo" my foot. That is far too sweet and cutsy. A rooster says "ER er ER er ERRRCH!" or "er ERRCH!" ANd usually it's no where near dawn. It's still dark when they start up this racket.
Thankfully our little friend didn't bother us too badly- just the first night... after that we discovered that closing our bathroom door muffled his ERRCHING. He seemed to sleep in a little more as well after we were there for awhile. Guess he thought he'd broken us in.

You guys are probably just so friendly that the rooster decided to be charismatic and treat you with his sweet "cocka-doodle-dooing" also known as, "EEERRRRCCHHHH"ing. :D
I'm glad you had a good time away!
Love,

If I remember right in the Congo they would start in at about 3 am. One good reason not to raise chickens!
wooh! 3am. I'm glad no one living near our apartment currently has a rooster.
There was one just down the block from us last year. But he quit his crowing after awhile, I suspect he became somebodies New Year's supper.
