One of my friends in Palm City told me about a gentlemen who went for a swim just off the beach there, head out of the water except for when he first dove in which is when some of the water went into his mouth which was promptly spat out.
Half an hour after the swim after puking et al - emergency was called and eventually had to go to Malta for treatment - reason - raw sewage. Talked to an engineer friend of mine at the gym last night, apprently there are 21 separate sewage pipes that go out into the ocean. Swimming 10km either side of the TIP could get you into trouble.
Anyone else hear anything? - I keep seeing the locals in the water just in front of the Marriot.
