I remember Doris's in Jamacia. There was also one in Antwerp. Did my last trip there. Guess I must have been a good custoner as she gave me a set of Serento blankets as a weeding gift.
Was so p***ed I left them behing. One of my shipmates told the wife. She still hasn't forgiven me.
Den.

Myrtle Bank
Swimming and dancing at the Myrtle Bank,?
