Welcome to Pedros Inn. This is a view of the pool as seen from ther balcony on top of the bar.
I arrived here after a short cab ride from the Ferry dock. The Inn is a fairly basic place, my room is an 8x10 foot box with two single beds in it and a cieling fan (thank God). Luckily I am located at the front of the building, so I get a window and my room is open at the top which allows some air to come in. It's always hot here, and every now and then it gets hot enough for long enough that the sky just can't handle it and it starts to pour for 15 or 20 minutes before returning to scalding hot.
but back to the Inn. The animal hospital is located on the same property as the Inn, so there is a constant assortment of dogs running around, there are also small lizards everywhere here that climb around on everything. At night the bushes of the lot next door sparkle with neon lightning bugs, and the breeze picks up enough to cool things down to the mid twenties.
I explored the town the first day, but since have spent alot of time lounging around the pool - the Inn is actually a very calm place compared to the main parts of town.
Gah. Tried posting a comment but was rejected due to not typing in the obligatory inkblot word. Oops - anyway - is this a hostel?? If so, you have hit the hostelling goldmine!
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a Hostel -other than the pool it doesn't really have anything else - cold showers, shared bathrooms and stuff. But really, who needs anything other than a pool in the carribbean.
ReplyDeleteWell, some people would say, (me) when you have the Caribbean, maybe you don't really need a pool!! But then, after reading about those Nurse sharks ... maybe the pool would be a nice break from thinking about them.
ReplyDeleteYou have the Carribbean, but you can't swim in most of it here- thers's a grass that grows in the shallows along most of the island, plus if you're not on the beach, nobody tries to sell you stuff - so there's another advantage of Pedro's pool.
ReplyDeleteOh Boy - would I like to be in that pool!
