I'd like to thank my "dive sherpas" Kiwi and Steven, they saved my arse with a couple of "tank slipage" issues, Kiwi almost got killed at Oil Slick trying to push me up past the "missing rung" on the ladder...poor Kiwi, I think he saw his life flash before him as he was trying to "hump" me up to the next rung, all the while seeing my tank slip...and head toward his head...

Dave, yes, Belefonte. I LOVE that place. I just don't want to tell too many people cause then everyone will want to stay there. I HAD a bunch of pictures of the room, dive gear area, etc., but I accidentally deleted them...grrr! It is very quiet which is nice, and Robbert the manager is a gem. They have new chairs on the pier, with this little wooden tray that slides out to hold your drinks, etc. I loved sitting in a chair in the afternoon during a SI, catching a bite to eat and reading. The rooms are VERY nice.

Jerry, moi? He is still recovering from his "kini elbow"...or was it the "windshield wiper" incident?

OK, I downsized a few. I took Delta for the first time, I'm hooked. Used Wannadive again, Windsock location, easy peasy if you are on the South side of the island.

Yes Dave, that's "the" Pachi Place...I wanted to make sure I got a good pic, so next time someone asks about it, I can oblige with a good pic. I think you need to post another chapter, for us all.

Please, Where is Pachi Place and what is it?
|
By RA. aka Velvet(*) (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3583) on Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 11:01 pm: |
Well Dan, Pachi's Place is a Gentlemans club of sorts.
|
By Dave Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #485) on Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 11:32 pm: |
"...of sorts?"
|
By RA. aka Velvet(*) (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3588) on Friday, February 6, 2009 - 3:56 pm: |
Well, I didn't quite know how to say it....I was trying to be gentle in case Dan was shocked that such a place existed!
|
By Dan Cable (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #5) on Friday, February 6, 2009 - 4:34 pm: |
If they are trying to run a buisness there, you would think they would advertise better

I think that Pachi's Place should make a donation to BT for all the free publicity it gets here!

By Glen Reem (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2931) on Friday, February 6, 2009 - 7:44 pm: |
Maybe Tink's making Pachi Place the only really large pic is something Freudian???... :–)

Pachi's Place. Now that is what I'm talking about. LOL Cynde, how long was Jerry in there? Everytime I go to More for Less, I laugh going past Pachi's. I thought the Tubes were great. Not the tubes at Pachi's, but the You Tubes. LOL I stayed at Bellafone once. I loved it, but Kathi did not. ??? In fact, I thought it was the best place we ever stayed, and we have done a lot. When we were there, the manager was this Dutch guy who smoked one butt after another in his office. I think his name was George, but it had a Dutch pronunciation like Georde or something. We had quite a few things wrong, like the dishwasher, the ice maker, and one time the AC. I thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown everytime he saw me. I think he tripled his cigarette intake in those two weeks. He probably went to Pachi's every night I was there.

Jim..I think that might have been Sjoerd. I believe he's the manager at the Hotel Rocheline now (or he was as of last year). Sjoerd was the first manager at Bellafonte.

By Jim Mc (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1899) on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - 2:31 pm: |
That would be him Vince. Thanks. My Dutch needs some work. LOL
