So, after 12 days, most involving the Club Orient Beach, the best way I could describe it is “ the Lemmings continue to return to Club Orient Beach”.

We’ve only stayed at New Years and June plus some 1 day cruise stops in between.

But each day there were more people (lemmings) we already met or we recognized each others faces including normal faces from June. They (the lemmings) just kept showing up. It was amazing to see how many devoted fans (lemmings) kept arriving. Some diehards (lemmings)in the past we only saw for one day - cruise ship visit perhaps?

The beach is largely the same with some differences.

When the resort is open it seemed many folks would get into groups (cliques) either before/after arrival or based on where they were sitting. Now the place is less clique. Folks we never talked with as they seemed busy in their groups were now friendly to us. They werent unfriendly before, they were just occupied with their group.

Clarification: clique here not a bad word. Like scheme in england is a plan.

No assigned chairs of course, but we ended up in same area.

Most of this trip you couldnt walk in front of the chairs in the surf so you had to walk behind the chairs. That changes the dynamic a bit. Last few days you could and is much better.

Thanks to Cedrick and crew for keeping the chairs straight and the Yellow Umbrellas open for all us lemmings.

We shall return!
