8 April 2012 – St Maarten
Now I've been here a few times, it would seem likely I’d get tired of the place. Not true though. And as with all things in life, it very much depends on whom you share your experiences with. I’d been after a new pair of head phones for the gym for a while but couldn’t decide what make and how much etc. I finally made a decision and treated myself to a pair of very fancy Dr Dre Monster Beats ...
San Juan - Bacardi, Bio Bay and more!
... off given neither of us had gotten into a kayak before – ever! Durasha managed to hitch a ride with one of the guides and didn’t even have to paddle! Lucky her!
Our mode of navigation was to paddle in a line and follow the small glow-in-the-dark markers on the back of each kayak. WOW! What an amazing experience! We had to navigate our way through a narrow canal covered with mangroves fearing when we might hit ...
