Rare BennyBrun Posted December 1, 2021 #1076 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The place looks amazing but you are definitely braver than me… I probably would have not gone with him at all… the beginning of your trip had a set up of a B rated cheap horror slasher flick feel to it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2021 Author #1077 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Pretty soon, more people showed up, and more local beers were passed around, along with some more definitely not bought in the store cigarettes. I was praying that my driver would be good enough to get me the hour drive back to the port. At this point, I at least had the feeling that my organs weren't going to be harvested, or worse. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you originally stumble across this place? Do you just take your own ventures when in port or had others told you about this place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating lion fish is good. They aren't supposed to be in the Caribbean. They eat fish that are important to the ecosystem. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2021 Author #1081 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Next thing I knew, we were barreling down the gravel road, trying to swerve around the many giant pot holes. The gravel road gave way to a paved, but still crappy road, also filled with potholes. We were passing and tailgating and swerving in and out of traffic, maybe a little past the point of being comfortable. I knew at least, that we were heading back in the general direction of the port, and a good while later, we arrived. I guess that when I set out earlier, I was looking for adventure, and you could say that I got that and then some... Every "real adventure" should include at least one aspect of danger, and in my case, there were many... I headed out this morning, thinking that I was going wayyy across the island to have a few drinks and some lunch, and ended up laughing and carrying on with a bunch of complete strangers as if we were all old friends... I paid off my driver when we arrived back, still not sure if he had lied to me in the beginning, but at this point, I guess that it didn't matter. When I got back on the ship, I got a message from the original tour company saying that they were there waiting on me, but like I said, there was definitely no female driver waiting there looking for me... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#55worktoplay Posted December 1, 2021 #1099 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Sounds like you had a great day. I think it may have been as good as Cozumel if not better? Scary to me, I would have never gotten in with that guy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'm missing it. Tell you the truth, probably not a big deal. This season is kinda boring. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
