"All was wonderful." rating 9/10, 20th Nov 2008, Joey C
"In the capital the weather was very humid and wet, rain showers were heavy and lasted long when they happened. However on the whole it was warm and relatively dry. In the north the weather was more what you would expect for beach weather but again when the storms came the rainfall was heavy and last a long time, the lightening was magnificent as it struck in the horizon above the sea. The rainforest didn't disappoint, it was wet!!!" rating 9/10, 21st Nov 2008, Shatha K
