Thanks so much. π
Now I can recognise the palm tree in the background as being next to Charlies!
What a beautiful, relaxing place Raro is ππ΄π₯₯πππ π’πΉ. We had perfect weather and got to every beach in a week- was so glad to have a rental car- definitely made things so much easier to go round the island and somewhere different for each meal.
We did without the esim or data- better to disconnect completely when out and about and only use WiFi at accommodation.
