December 18,2025 Dominican Republic
Breakfast on the balcony, then I hopped on a tender …
I snapped a few pics on the 18 minute tender ride …
The tender landing spot appears to be new(ish) and is quite nice…it’s about a 5 minute walk into town…
That’s a exactly what it looks like…wonder when it sank?
The sun was strong and humidity was at 77%…
This part of town features these adorable storefronts…I searched for postcards…no luck.
I set out to walk along the harbor, but didn’t get too far…
Can you spot Serenity through the rain?
I took refuge with these guys…
The rain lasted about 5 minutes and cooled things off nicely…however walking was treacherous. I wanted to visit a local church…but I slipped twice and was forced to shuffle along taking baby steps…
This is as close as I got to the church…at 74 years old, fear of falling is real…and the sidewalks were really, really slick…like really slick.
It took me twice as long to return to the tender spot.
Carmelo and Benjamin with refreshments and cool towels as we waited for the tender.
Lunch in Marketplace then an enjoyable afternoon on our balcony…
This view is everything…after the rain the air was almost crisp…almost.
Sailaway…
Cocktail of the day: The Raincheck…Tequila, Elderflower, lime and soda water…seemed fitting.
Umi Uma means Sea Horse…so of course Tim wore his Umi Uma shirt.
Sashimi…tuna with jalapeño
Waygu with fried onion sashimi
Octopus carpaccio
Soft shell crab spring roll
Miso soup
Nobu style lobster.
Rock shrimp tempura and cold Soba noodles.
Sigi took our chopsticks and returned them clean and shiny… so fancy😊
A morning walk in the rain… afternoon relaxing on the balcony and a fantastic meal…thanks for following along.🩵🩵🩵
