Sand Zombies


Gotta say life here at Club Orient is pretty awesome. The days have a sort of structure but not much at all. At 8 am folks converge at the Boutique for their morning pastry and whatever else they need for the day, trade in yesterday's beach towels for clean ones and wander back to their units for breakfast.

After breakfast the procession to the beach begins. Lay on your lounger, read, float around in the water, get a fruity drink or two from the Perch beach bar (my favorite is the Bahama Mama).

At 2:25 the line forms at the Perch because at 2:30 the bell rings and happy hour (2 for 1 drinks) begins. After that folks wander back up to their units for naps, more sun, etc.

Somewhere around 4 most folks have wine and cheese on their patios. Then either out for dinner or cook dinner and later wander over to Papagayo (the on-site restaurant) for dessert, drinks and dancing and back home to bed. It's a grueling schedule, I must say.
