Day 12
We were just on the beach the whole day! Spent more time looking for some sea-shells, and yet again Karolina has yet another alcohol free day! Sean doesn't, but cuts down a little due to the early start in the morning.
At this point in the holiday, Sean has probably drunk everything on the bar menu. Favourites include Sosua Cocktail, Dr Funk, Strawberry or Mango Daiquiri, but more often than not a Cuba Libre or Cerveza (beer) would be ordered. Karolina needed to be a little more selective due to her allergies with just about every fruit under the sun. The Dominican Republic only exports 5% of the Rum that it produces, meaning they drink an awful lot of the stuff. There are three main Rum distilleries on the island; 
Brugal located in Puerto Plata itself, Bermudez, mentioned earlier and Barceló in the capital city Santo Domingo in the South of the island.
Tonight is also Karaoke night on the Merengue stage, we decide not to take part, but relax and "enjoy" this ancient Japanese tradition. Hightlights were a very good Elvis soundalike, and a girl that couldn't really sing despite the neat vodkas she was downing in quick succession before each performance.
Before toddling off to bed we asked reception for wake up call at 4.00am. Went to sleep really early tonight for going to Samana tomorrow.
