Labadee, Hispaniola
Sarah Harmon
We were on one of the
first tenders, which meant we had pick of the sun loungers. We explored
the island before settling, however it was really overcast and the clouds
were still hanging over the mountains. By 10 am it was pouring - seriously
pouring - with rain, so much so that I kind of thought about going back to
the ship. We left the beach and found a lively bar at the Dragon Rock
spot. They were playing Ibiza style dance music and we got some beer to
wake us up. The sky brightened up by noon - the bar tender said the exact
same thing had happened the week before. By 1 it was hot! We went on the
banana boat to cool off. I noticed that the kiddies beach (where the
inflatables are) was still cloudy, it was amazing that as small as the
island was, it was sunny on one side and miserable on the other. There is
a cool tractor that you can hop on and off to take you from one beach to
the other.
