The toilets are funny. Water right up to the top of the bowl. Makes it hard to drop a blind mullet with out it bobbing back up and bumping your bottom.

Yes I had a great holiday there, don't rate the food there at all, there are some beautiful places and speaking english is not a problem.

The only good food is when you go to the islands and eat seafood I found.

The ex was there last year.......don't go to the southern areas, very dangerous.  There is a lovely spot down south, a type of diving resort I think, it's where tourists are kidnapped.

Gangs shooting and killing each other is common, heard gunshots while on the phone.

So, I think if you stay away from that area, you will be fine !

Oh, lots of corruption, too so if you get into any sort of trouble have money t
