ENThis press trip to the Dominican Republic is starting strong. The days are so dense, that I haven't found the time to write a post yet! Here are some pictures, while waiting.
Very "postcard", all that. But good. It is difficult not to succumb to the sublime landscapes of the coast.
And it sounds incredible, but considering the program we were given, I haven't yet had the opportunity to swim in these azure waters... True!
We are taken on a lot of fantastic rides... in a plane, on a quad, on horseback. Not even time to lounge on the beach! Not even to go and see the reefs up close. I will tell you about it in a future post...
Come on, one last thing, just to warm you up with the rays of the setting sun... 😉
The next one, very soon!

Thanks for these photos, they warm me up on this Sunday afternoon...They might even help me get to work tomorrow...Yeah..well...I wouldn't go that far....
The aerial photos you took remind me of the ones I took in Thailand when we also took a plane from Koh phi phi to Koh racha...
Good continuation!!!
It drives me crazy when press trip organizers don't give us a single minute to at least FEEL like we're on vacation. After all, to accurately report the «feel» of a place, you have to experience what appeals most to tourists. And in the Dominican Republic, there's no doubt about it: lazing around!
That said, you've still got the heat... It's -17 in Montreal right now!
@ Helene and Marie-Julie: Oh la la... Not only am I “struggling” to find the time to get online (in + or - 27 degrees, yes, I know, it's very hard), but tonight, in the hotel where we're staying, it's a real pain to get online at all...
There are only two old computers with a home-made “navigator”... No wifi for guests. The way things are going, I'll be telling you more about this trip on tape than live!
Sunny kisses to both, and see you soon!

Arghhh. To think I could have been there instead of freezing my ass off in Rennes... It looks really nice and I envy you not having to put on a sweater hat and gloves to go out. And what's more, you're complaining that the pace is fast!!! Bon profiter en bien avant de revenir en froide Bretagne. Biz Biz
When I tell you that it's not easy to find wifi points...even in 3 or 4 star hotels...so you'll understand my dismay sometimes on tour...when we have to make do with a 2 star hotel that doesn't even have internet!!!Go on, take a dip in the pool since you don't have internet!!!!
Big frozen kisses.
@ FunnyWorld: What's a hat? What are gloves for? 😆
Well, to console you, I'll bring you back a bottle of rum. But you don't realize: in the tropics, it's hard to keep up a steady pace of activity. But I'm willing to put up with it. You know my professional conscience... 8)
@ Helen: Yes, you're absolutely right. As far as the Internet is concerned, I don't usually have such a hard time when I stay in a guesthouse...
Otherwise, no splashing in the pool. I don't like it, I prefer salt water. During the day, there are only red-headed tourists in shorts in there. And at night, better avoid it, there are “chemists” in there (sic! I'll show you the picture of the sign: bad translation of the English “chemistery”, I guess, to talk about chemicals... anyway, we had a good laugh).
Big sunny kisses!

The Dominican Republic looks great too, what great trips!
