I sometimes live in cities where public parks and beaches aren’t as accessible as they should be, considering the fantastic weather one is offered. I can’t afford to have my own pool and beautiful garden, so I always make sure to find a hotel close by instead, where I can go for lunch and a break from work and other responsibilities. The perfect solution to treating oneself with little luxuries in life while on a budget.

The rainy season is on, so we are having a classic rain/sun day today in Managua – this means you take a swim in the pool while it’s raining, to then get up and relax in the sun. Beautiful.
