Here again :rotfl:can anyone tell me what we must take with us (tips) we know about how expensive sun lotion is we will take that but is there anything else you kind people can think of. I understand there is a disco next door is it just for the young People or do you think we may be able to use it, we are in our early 50s but young at heart.

- sorry for any delay
Yes there is a dress code. You cant just wear swim suits in the dining hall or restaurants and men cant wear shorts in the evenings, long trousers are required, although long shorts (below the knee) are usually ok - Think your OH will find it too hot and humid for jeans/denim. Light weight cotton or linen clothes are good.
I couldn't master the slippery, high shine floors in high heels, so had to wear flat/ish shoes.
If you use the pools be careful, as the area around the pools are painted and very slippery.
Although DR is low risk for malaria, we do take anti malaria tables "Avloclor" they taste foul, but better safe than sorry. They are not expensive from Boots etc. The course needs to be started about 1 week before you travel.
Hope you have a fab time - let us know
