Or maybe it should be 'a rainy day at paradise' since we are here on Roatan at the Paradise Beach club. But which ever preposition you choose, it is most definitely raining --off and on all day. And when it rains, it is the torrential type downpour that one associates with the tropics. The island is one of the most lush places I have ever been. We saw forests of palms and bamboo on the drive here from the airport. The lady at the coffee shop where we are sitting is from Edmonton and she says that by now it should be hot and sunny. And it will be, but the rain is not a hardship.
The Paradise Beach Club is actually the improved Paradise Beach Club, having just opened after a renovation. The hotel is getting its act together. It is small, and so has limited facilities, but the people are very pleasant and accommodating. It will not, unfortunately work as a beach vacation destination with the kids. The water from the tap is not purified and so you need bottled water to even brush your teeth. There is a limited selection at dinner, but we are not here for the food.
But we do not wash dishes, nor do the cooking. So, it is relaxing and time to stroll along the beach. Life is good.
