Sidetrips and Holidays
This is a top pick! ... to add the rest of our trips (for posterity) to my travelogue. Some are quite recent but others are memories of halcyon days. Dominican Republic: In 1997 I had started work as a junior doctor and after a couple of months I was totally ready for a break. ...
Diving in to our DR detour
... cousin Meredith planning a destination wedding, Casey and I have a legitimate excuse to spend two weeks relaxing in the Dominican Republic. This is our "vacation" before the "adventure" that is rapidly approaching. Arriving here felt something like ...
Bayahibe
... life can be!! The trip to Saona is indescribably wonderful. -see pictures-. I check into a hotel when I get back to Bayahibe and spend some time talking to the receptionist/ concierge. She speaks english, so that makes for some good conversation. she ...
Cheese and Big Sea Bugs
... around, while tiring, has allowed us to see three distinct places in the DR: The capital, Santo Domingo; a small coastal town, Bayahibe; and a city in the mountains, Jarabacoa. We spent most of the first day walking around Santo Domingo. We had a ...
Getting Started
... the same deep green water winding its way between to flow into the ocean. I hoped that this was the national park in the Dominican Republic that's near our hotel, but I later decided that it wasn't the right flight path/timing to be the DR. It made ...
Food for Africa?
... to eat again! I was already getting tired of all the food everywhere, maybe it was time to try explore the drink list instead, today's choice fell on "Blue Hawaii" it was actually quite good. Then we ended the day by watching an acrobatic Dominican ...
Issues with the Resort
This day is a big blur, primarily because I'm writing about it five days after the fact, and partly because I've blocked some of it out. Sara and I spent some time arguing with the guest relations woman (Serena? Selena?) about the room rate and the ...
Isla Saona und andere Stories...
... Tag auf der Isla Saona. War mit Flo, Sabrina, Melina, Karina und ein paar anderen auf der Insel in der Nähe von Bayahibe. Sind mit einem Speedboot hingefahren und hatten dann Zeit zum Baden, Sonnen und Essen auf der Insel und schließlich ging es ...
Sanoa Island
... resorts on our way to Saona Island. Finally at Saona Island we were herded to the beach with more free drinks and another crappy Dominican lunch buffet. This was mass tourism as it worst and we had to pay 60 dollar each for this shit. I thought I should ...
Bateau et Isla Saona

Travel Day
... really a pleasant experience although totally jammed with people. When we got off, we just went for the closest hotel "Hotel Bayahibe" it was surprisingly nice, clean and cheap. Then we wandered around outside and tried to find a decent restaurant and of ...
Exploration
Up for a new breakfast it was actually quite good. Then we got the great idea to walk along the beach towards the big resorts at "Playa Dominicus". It didn't look far at all in or guidebook it just seemed to be a straight line, that should have made me ...
Here's To New Friends....Best Day So Far!
... an hour and a half road trip to get to our place of boarding the boat. Quite amusing along the way seeing the REAL Dominican Republic and life away from the AI's(All Inclusive). The driving is indescribable lol! Away from the towns/cities isn't to bad ...
Roaster Booster
Cant anyone kill that fucking roaster? this "ecological alarm clock" kept us awake from 04:00 to 08:00 before he went quiet, did he get to sleep then? Finally, I could sleep a little before I woke up to another promising day. I studied the mass tourism ...
el Parque Nacional del Este
Fui en el autobus a el Parque Nacional del Este. Fui a acampar en el parque y fui a pescar en el agua. Fui a subir en las arboles. Fue a estar fenomenal. Fui a ver los animales. Muchos iguanas en la Republica de Dominicana. La Republica de Dominicana ...
Exploring
I slept until 10AM today, which felt heavenly. The breakfast buffet was about as impressive as the dinner last night, except for the wonderful omelet station. There¡¦s really not much to report from most of the day. I figured out where to get beach ...
Where NO Tourist Goes!
... some villages VERY remote and WAY OFF the beaten path. We visited and swam in a local water cave totally cool. Stopped at a Dominican friends of Yves and learned about what Dominicans grow and eat. We had drinks at a local "car wash"....lol...remember ...
Activities
Just another breakfast buffet then we tried the art of archery it was quite fun, after that we played a little bit tennis, it was great fun to revive childhood activities, but also extremely exhaustive in the heat of mid day. What's next on the "bucket ...
Bayahibe
This was a change of pace in Bayahibe. I somehow miscalculated my days here and wish I would have stayed an extra day, but for some reason, I thought my fight was two days away and it was really three days away. Bayahibe is a small town on ...
