So this was day 2 in La Romana in the Dominican Republic . Today we had a P&O excursion booked , a visit to the Ron Barcelo rum distillery .
After meeting ashore we boarded our coach for the 45 minute drive to the distillery . On arrival we were shown the process of making, ageing , and the history of the Distillery .
At the end of the tour we had a chance to sample a number of different rums .and of course we finished in the shop . Where I must say the rums on sale were very reasonable priced .

On returning to the port we spent some time around the refurbished port area , with its bars, shops , swimming pool , loads of sun beds and even a viewing platform in the guise of a Lighthouse .This really is a nice place to spend the day if you have no excursions booked .

That evening we had our meal in the main dining room , then listened to various music acts before making our way to the atrium for the silent disco . As this was the first one of the cruise it was very busy but a lot of fun . That evening we set sail heading for Saint Martin .
