Thanks, Heman, it was and there's a lot to be said for that. Maybe it was just that we were there so long, but we saw an unusually high number of accidents and injuries (most minor but a couple pretty serious) in addition to Agustus' accident during the time we were there. Anyone going to Hedo for the first time should understand that they're not in the U.S. and government safety regulations and fear of lawsuits is not what it is here in the States. Therefore, there are any number of "booby traps" (and I don't mean that kind of booby
) around that when combined with lots of alcohol can be dangerous. These range from uneven concrete to loose tiles, slippery floors (including those in your room), glass, etc. We were friendly with a woman who was straddling the toilet seat in the men's room and because of a combination of too much to drink and a slippery tile floor, her foot slid out from under her and she hit the toilet seat in a very sensitive area, if you know what I mean. She ended up in the hospital and got about a dozen stitches on the inner portion of her labia. To her Hedo credit, though, she was back at the pool the next day (not in the water obviously) drinking and having a great time but moving very slowly and carefully and obviously in a lot of pain. She told anyone who asked her (and many who didn't), "I broke my cu*t!" The message is, have lots of fun but be very careful.
