The good:

Got any shopping we wanted to do out of the way today.
Have reservations at Amazonia tonight (Sinful indulgence, and one I salivate for when planning our Aruba excursions)
Checked out the remains of The Natural Bridge (sad but amazing with the 30-40 foot waves hitting the sides due to the storm)

The Bad:

The sun never really made it out.

The beach is worse than I thought. Upon a walk from the Radisson nearly to the North Light House there were literally feet of seaweed at certain points. Many of the hotels are operating business as usual, and working around it, but the Radisson insists they must have the beach immaculate before they let anyone on it. However they are not doing any work on it till 6AM tomorrow, and already said it is not likely we will be on the beach at all (our last day).

Waaaaay too crowded at the pool area now.

However at least I did get three good beach days in. I am feeling for the people I saw checking in today, and may not be allowed on the beach at all till at least Tuesday.


That being said, I still love this place as the locals are all apologetic to us as if they had some control over the weather, and are going out of their way to accommodate us in any way. (Got a $110 rental car for $65 today just so we could cruise around). Love this island.
