The flooded side, apparently.phil_t said:Which side of the island were you on??

I must admit, the idea of traditional English food (e.g. Lancashire Hotpot) turns the stomach.
Saying that, when I sailed with a Filipino crew, I saw some food that really did turn my stomach.
All I can remember is the name of the hotel, and that's because I picked on account of it being my name. Knowing myself as well as I do, I should probbaly have seen that as a bad omen. But it was fun. Got to eat a lot of goat and drink a lot of rum. And a few days after we left a massive hurricane arrived and destroyed most of the island. I think it was most likely the after effects of all that goat.phil_t said:We were on the south-east coast (i think ) - although i cant for the life of me remember what the resort was called, Punta Cana or somesuch (thats probably totally wrong )
