Rum tasting on a hot beach? Obviously a great idea.
With the Dominican Republic being famous for their rum, it would be simply foolish and really quite rude not to jump at the chance of trying all the rum varieties this glorious island has to offer.
Turns out, that means a lot of varieties... And it also turns out that people from the Dominican Republic are very generous with their samples. It's not very shocking that after several shots of Brugal, a few more of rum cream and finishing off with the local and possibly deadly Mama Juana - we were more than a bit tipsy. And we were also ready to party.
Off to the bar and more cocktails. We did not need them bit they did bring on some pretty hilarious conversations with the America pilots that found us in the bar. In 60 minutes we somehow managed to get through the topics of Nashville and country music, the crashed Malaysia Air flight, Hello Kitty business suits, Belgian Waffles and Emerging Market investments. In the middle of an analysis of the word 'please', the bar closed and Hell's Bells and I were getting ready to par-tay.
The par-tay went as far as passing out in our sundresses with an episode of CSI Miami on in the background. I blame the heat, not the rum.
