The day did not start auspiciously. What was supposed to be an early start to refuel the boat in preparation for leaving early the next day turned into breakfast at midday and a decision to hire a car. To Alex’s delight, we hired an orange Jeep and went to a rum distillery, a sugar plantation and the botanical gardens. Sadly the botanical gardens were shut, so we headed up into the rainforest to a place called the Domino Club -- just past Springfield(!) -- that has a beer drinking pig – hence the title of this blog. In fact, they have two. The pigs are massive – about 3’6”at the shoulders with impressive teeth – and drink cans of no-alcohol lager which you hand to them carefully. Their eyes reminded me strongly of Sam, my flatcoat. They appear to love the visit and the petting, love the beer and love the attention, but I can’t help feeling there’s something wrong with the whole concept...
