Day out with the Chicks
18 augustus 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Bella, Mariel & I took a little local bus to Puerto Plata in the morning. 🚐
The assistant of the bus driver tried to over-charge us and asked for 200 pesos per person! But we argued and in the end payed only 100 pesos - still too much but better than before! 🤷🏼‍♀️

We went to a big second hand cloth-market downtown and I bought like 5 pieces (of course I had to go "all in" 😂) and payed 250 pesos. 50 pesos per piece, that is around 70 Cent.

Afterwards we had a delicious lunch at a small kiosk and we walked a bit around the city. Went to the Castillo, a memorial of a plane crash that happened in 1996 and went up to this old house on the hill to take more pictures with this amazing view to the ocean! #islandlife 🏝️

Nice day together, Chicks! 😘Meer informatie

Pico Isabel de Torres
27 augustus 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
When in Puerto Plata, you should go up the 793 meter high mountain of Isabel de Torres with a cable car 🚠 (or for lazy people with a car) and enjoy the lovely view of the Atlantic and the beaches in the distance! 🏔

Or, you just arrive on a foggy day and enjoy the endless grey of the clouds ... ☁️

Antonio & I drove up the really damaged streets with his car. On top is a restaurant, little souvenirs stores of course & a giant little Christ Savior statue, which is one of the landmarks of the province. 😍

Definitely worth a trip, maybe just on a sunnier day 🙃Meer informatie

Snorkling close to Playa Grande ⛱
30 augustus 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Antonio & I checked out some beaches around the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. 🏖

I wanted to go snorkeling at last!! 🤿

One beach, we spend some time, is the beautiful Playa Grande next to Río San Juan.

I could finally swim in clear water with some fishes & crabs!! 🤗😍

Fotoshooting with the Puppies
27 september 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
These 2 cuties are looking for a new home to live. 🐶

So I decided to make a professional photo shooting and use the pics later for the Facebook post. 📸

They are still here, but I love the pics and share them with you now! 😍

Daytrip to Santiago de los Caballeros
12 oktober 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
I joined Antonio for a couple of days on his trip to Puerto Plata and Santiago de los Caballeros. 🚗

Last one is the second biggest city in the DomRep with more than half million people living there! 😲

Despite Corona, Santiago is packed with people in the bars and restaurants. 🍻

We drove around and visited different places, like the Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración and had an amazing view over the city! 😍

The next morning, we had a little breakfast at a French bakery. Antonio dropped me off at the Caribe Tours bus stop and I took the bus to Sosua and a Guagua to Cabarete and the Castillo 🏰🤗Meer informatie

Sam’s Gig @ Drifter Cabarete
17 oktober 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Sam, one of the managers of the “Castillo”, is also a musician and a pizza maker. 🍕

He works at this super cute but really expensive bar close to the beach and was able to play with a friend there this Saturday. 🎶🎵🎶

Almost the whole hostel visited and watched for some time. Mariel had to work in the hostel and couldn’t see the Gig. 🙈
So, when I found this sweet little stand that sold Xmas cookies, I bought 2 packs and we killed them on the Couch later that evening ... 😏

Braids for Mariel
24 oktober 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Today Bella visited us in the “Castillo” with the Intention to braid Mariels hair. 💁🏽‍♀️

We were expected maybe 2-3 hours for the process and Mariel bought 4 packages of plastic hair at the chinese store earlier this week. 🛒

I made pancakes with Oreo Cookies and apples for dinner. 😋🥞

In the end, we had so many breaks and interruptions, that Bella needed around 7 hours and 6 packages. Mariel had to text an Motoconcho to get 2 more packages, together with a coke and ice. 😄🧊

But it was worth the time ...

Night in Puerto Plata
24 oktober 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Antonio picked me up around the late afternoon and we drove to Puerto Plata. 🚙

On our way, as many times before, I passed the spot where the famous Austrian Singer Falco died in 1998. I never really saw this spot until a friend told me where he died and I checked it online. 😳
His car got hit by a bus and he died directly ✝️

Later that evening and before curfew, we went into the bar “Casa 40” to drink a really delicious Mojito. 💚

Cheers 😉Meer informatie

Chicken Wings Wednesday
28 oktober 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Wednesday’s is Chicken Wings Day at the Goddess Beach Club in Cabarete! 🐥

For no more than 100 pesos, you can get a big plate with Wings, a Salad and a baked potato. 🥔

It is a little bit to far to walk, so we usually take a Motoconcho or someone with a Pasola or Moto can pick us up and take us there.

They also have really good Mojitos there ...

Chilling @ Bellas new place
29 oktober 2020, Dominicaanse Republiek ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
I wanted to get a little Tattoo today, but my appointment got canceled like last minute! 🤷‍♀️

Sooo, we decided to chill at Bella’s new place instead. She moved there with her bf Angel and their dog Firu on Tuesday and we wanted to check out the place and chill in the Callejon a little. 😎✌️

Afterwards, Mariel & I took a Motoconcho back to the Castillo.Meer informatie
