Dominican Republic and USA (Jan 2017)



Sadly, i left the boat. But the plan was not that bad. I flew to Dominican Republic to visit my good friend Monika. She has lived in plenty of countries (Spain, China, Chile, and Bulgaria) and I have always visited her there, so it becomes already a tradition. I flew to Santo Domingo and after a quick checking what is going on in this city I moved to Monika to Bayahibe. This town is really nice and not too touristic compare to Punta Cana. There are trips on the Catamaran to the Saona Island, but it did not look too attractive to me, after such a nice sailing time in Windward Islands. So we basically chilled on the beach, had nice dinners, funny party etc. More like a local life style, than an all inclusive tourist. We visited Punta Cana few times, but it is for me like vacation nightmare – only resorts and no real life.
After Dominican Republic I went to US to visit my family. I was so close, that there was no excuse not to go. However the vision of the winter was a bit terrifying. I spent funny time with Lukasz, Agnieszka and my lovely Kasia with Derick. I am a Godmother of a sweetest girl in the world. Besides I managed to see Magda and Susy with Lucy, who hosted me in Bolivia 3 years ago J
We managed to do a quick tour in NY, while Jasiek was flying via US. We had the best guide in NY – Marco, who told us plenty of funny stories and even though the weather was really bad, we had a great time.
I have also managed to plan my next parts of the trip, so: Jamaica, Europe and back to Caribbean :)
