DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - Casa Del Campo
We got diverted from Punta Cana to the sleep marina of Casa Del Campo, due to high winds and waves. We had to tender in and there was very little to see or do in the upscale marina. I walked the area with Scott - stopping at grocery and hardware stores. Alot of shops were high end and only a few were open. Basically, treated this stop as another SEA DAY with a nice tender ride & walk mid-day.
BONAIRE - Day 2 - One of my top 10 so far!
View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
PORT OF SPAIN, TABAGO - The Miller's arrive for a visit!
