The sea was still pleasant enough for swimming. Fantastic weather. There were enough sunny days to relax on the beach, but you also get a few rainy days. Not perfect, but good. Very sunny, with temperatures mostly around mid-seventy degrees. Count on light breezes, but no rain. It was as if the island knew we were on vacation. Glorious.— This text is automatically translated to English
