chilly and I have a side bet...
Greg Mossman...
|
So who won?
chilly...
|
I'd say you won. Though with regard to his room specifically, his spoken
opinion was almost exactly what I'd expected.

five of us

In fairness, you were on the tail end of the cold you had before you left,
the week held some hard conditions and ultimately, you have a lot more good
sense than does chilly.
Whistler...

It was more than the cold, I think. It was switching locations to a
place with no chairs, loud music and watered down drinks. Put me in a
chilly...
|
I don't know where you were getting watered down drinks. I wish to heck I
could have got some watered down drinks from time to time. All that free
pouring causes me nothing but trouble.

quiet spot with lots of people at a table telling good stories without
yelling, some good red wine in my hand, and I'd probably never have left.
chilly...
|
Maybe you wouldn't have but didn't you tell me most everyone at Cocoview was
back in their rooms by 8 pm?
Whistler...
|
I wasn't talking about Cocoview, I was talking about town. What I need
to do is take my own party to Cocoview...
chilly...
|
That works too. I've had that experience at other destinations but so far,
not on Roatan. Likely that is because I either go alone or with Kalina.
|
|
As for a quiet spot with lots of people at a table telling good stories
without yelling, some good red wine in my hand, I can enjoy that too, but
it's not that easy to find in West End. It's the sort of thing that you
almost have to make happen. For example, it can happen at the Argentinean
Whistler...
|
Ah, I agree, see above.
chilly...
|
Same idea, different venue. You see taking a group to Cocoview. I see
taking a group to West End. You should have stayed down at Lost Paradise.
It's a shame that Pura Vida gets such good internet press. You may recall,
my other friends from Calgary that had left the island the day before I came
up to Cocoview, didn't like it either.
|
For example, it can happen at the Argentinean
|
Grill. We didn't make it up to Pinnochio's but I'm sure you'd have quite
liked it up there too. Maybe you should have dived with Tyll's. They are
always hanging out at the shop talking diving for hours and hours. I go over
there and sit with them from time to time but the sandfleas usually drive me
away.
Whistler...

I enjoyed the youth hostel diving. Brought back memories.
chilly...
|
LOL. Tyll's has an older crowd as a rule, than did West End Divers.
I grew quite fond of those youngster's after a while. Duncan told me the
last night, that he deliberately left the ladder off the boat a few times
the first week, just to get me. The little brat.
