We leave here early tomorrow morning. A 3 1/2 hour bus ride to Santa Domingo. We are told it is AC and to bring a warm rug as it might be too cold on the bus. We board the cruise ship about 2.00 pm.
Not sure about internet connection on voyage. These cruise ships usually charge a lot for wi fi. So my next post might be April 11th in Gibraltar.
I am sure you can wait! No more emails for a while.
Seeing kids building sand castles and forts reminds me of my childhood!
Yesterday we walked to the supermarket along the beach. We are allowed to walk as far as we can as long as we do not try to leave the beach to go to the road. The whole beach area is a seamless string of expensive resorts. The beach in front of the resort is patrolled by security guards who prevent people like us from walking through the resort to the road. Every so often there are some beach shops with access in and out through the stalls. I stopped at one and thought I would get a hat cheaper than at the fancy shopping mall. I chose a wide brimmed made in China hat and a long scarf I want to wear as a belt. He showed the price in pesos on his calculator, so i divided the sum by 43 and it came to $63.00 and that’s US rate! On our return he shouted at me to give me ‘real’ price. I told him he’d lost his chances with me!
This is mainly a beach area. Lots of activities on the beach and in, on, and above the sea
This was the only thing we saw to remind us that it was Easter. Nothing closed Easter Sunday. No churches here.
Showers when traveling.Am I the only adult on this planet who has to be helped getting a shower to work? My optician tells me I have 20 20 vision with my glasses ON, but not that I am probably legally blind without my specs.
Through experience, I know to check out the shower before taking off my glasses, but have not yet learned to do this before taking off my clothes. Luckily, Michael is usually around and he can always figure it out, twist and pull out, or push in and twist, or a hundred other combinations.
Last night, because of my swim in the sea, l had sand everywhere. I was raised by the sea, but we never had showers on the beach. In all my years of traveling the globe, I have never got into the habit of showering at the beach. From now on…..
So this is our shower!
Could I get that darned shower to work? I pulled, pushed, turned to left, turned to right, tried,moving those,little nozzles, but no water came out of either of the shower heads. In the end, I had to shower using water in a drinking glass.
In the morning Mike said the owner had shown him how to work the shower. It was up and twist to the left!
Everything looks so green!
