Would you like to stay with Dr. No or Blofeld at Piz Gloria?

Postby carl stromberg » Fri May 11, 2012 9:19 am

I've always wanted to stay with Dr. No at his island as he has a great menu and lots of other luxuries. Piz Gloria sounds nice too with a great view and a great menu again with lots of dishes named after Blofeld's mountain retreat. Of course there is a danger that one of the loony villains may decide to kill a guest!

Which one would you like to stay at.
Bring back Bond!

Dr No's place is work of art and cutting edge science and there always the chance a visitor might become part of the science by participating in the experiments, it's a win win. :lol: Better than Sea World

Yesh, Dr No has the pre-dinner 'softening up' for guests, which is a plus. But the Piz has Irma Bunt ooh la etc.

Dr. No's island. For whatever reason, If the villain is going to capture me, I'd prefer it to be because I just shot out the headlights of his "dragon", rather than because I was a little overzealous is bedding a bunch of bimbos. Personal preference I suppose. Plus, after Blofeld captures you he puts you in a noisy room connected to a cable car (and I'm afraid of heights). When Dr. No captures you he serves you dinner and then gives you a maze to climb through, and I'm not claustrophic (I used to love hay mazes as a little kid!).

How about staying with "Mad Bas***d" Blofeld and Irma at their Japanese island and having a nice picnic in the garden?

Very clever! Though that option might be covered by the "it's too dangerous" category, not? (Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless you have an attraction to the idea of committing suicide, there's not much to be gained from the Garden of Death. Or is there?)

How is Dr No losing this? come on! It's not like Crab Key is Getmo (Guantanamo). You have your choice for black sands or white, depending which version of the island you want ;) :mrgreen:

The thing is..............Piz Gloria actually exists, and you can visit it.....though obviously over the years it has been somewhat refurbished.

Crab Key also has that delicious guano recipe. It was likely the cause of Quarrel's demise. :arrow:
