We are now experiencing “the wet”. It’s generally very humid but quite a few days are reasonably cool and quite pleasant. Mostly when it does rain it really pisses down, but we also get soft gentle rain.
Our daughter Zoe loves it when it does rain – it’s warm and fun and just fantastic just to play in. She found her own locally grown umbrella.
We have stairs up the side of our shack and then all the way up to the top shack (where our guests stay) – during a big downpour the stairs act as a wonderful waterfall.
The water just pours down the hill and then re-shapes our little front beach.
We also hear the frogs at night.

We do get plenty of sunshine as well, most days it is sunny in the mornings and buckets down for maybe an hour here and there in the afternoon, evening. Sometimes it doesn’t rain for days. I was surprised I thought it would rain every day in the Wet Season.
