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.
Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.
More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!
MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
