197--Tortola: Island Pub Crawl @ CherieSpotting     Mar 16 2004 - 12:04 PST cherie writes: Joe, Milo, Lee and I decided we wanted to rent a van and tour the island of Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands. Tour the island’s pubs, that is. We spent the day jumping from one bar to the next, each savoring one “specialty drink” per pub. *We drank a ‘Mongoose Magic’ at “De Loose Mongoose.” *We gulped down a ‘Hogwacker’ at “Fat Hog Bob’s.” *Then we guzzled an ‘Island Moose’ and fed the donkey at “The Last Resort.” (Which is only accessible by ferry or boat!) *The crew had to sail to the Willy T where we threw back “shot-skis”—4 shots of rum on a water-ski that everyone has to toss down together. *Finally, we sipped a 'Sex in the Jungle' at "Myett's Bar" even though I'm not aware of any jungle in Tortola.

Milo, Lee and Joe on our way to "De Loose Mongoose." Only a few steps away from the infamous drink called: Mongoose Magic. Who knew a van could be so cute and tiny. Mongoose are important critters to watch out for. Vollyball anyone? Nah, that sounds like it might be good for you! The dinghy dock at "De Loose Mongoose." That purple bar needs something...maybe customers? How does a man look macho on a purple stool? Milo, Joe and Cherie. I wonder if that is someone's home or office? That's one way to sleep on your boat. The next stop--The Last Resort. Milo finds an old prop. Lee, the Chinese warrior. The real question is: Why don't all bars have hammocks? Milo feeds the donkey. Lee makes a new friend. Joe can't leave without a hug. The Last Resort still has their Christmas lights up. All Milo wants is a beer and a coconut. Joe waves from The Last Resort. We had to take a ferry to get there. The view from Fat Hog Bob's. Joe, Cherie, Milo and Lee. Fat Hog Bob's is home of the "Hogwacker." You have to love a place that puts its menu on a lamp shade. The last bar we hit, we had to sail to. Joe on the bow. A sunset sail to the Willy T. Papa Otis is ready for a big night out. Manolo at the helm. Family style: Phil, Manolo and Papa Otis. Milo at dusk. Milo, I think you have something on your head. The Willy T--it's a boat and it's a bar. The next stop was Myett's Bar for live music. Dance the afternoon away. Having fun! Purple hair is going to make a come back, she's sure of it. New friends! Cute girls just out of school. It's never a good thing when I take the microphone. She didn't know it yet, but her boyfriend was just about to propose. Lee, Milo and Joe are part of the band. Who recognizes him? He pops the question! She says yes! Let's celebrate! Having a tan is all about perspective.
