Dominican Republic certainly has some good places to visit, particularly in maintaining the vestiges of the colonial period. I'm less convinced by the gorilla.

In reply to SoyBend.You'd love that museum, Siobhan. There were plenty of examples of amber on display there.

I liked you amber photos, John. I love rocks! Also liked the multicolored umbrellas. So pretty.

In reply to Egídio.It is, indeed. This tour was one of the better tours in covering so many interesting places.

What a beautiful city! These are great photos. The Fortaleza San Felipe seems full of history.

In reply to Toonsarah.I understand. Big ships can seem crowded at peak times like sail-away and popular venues, but their size makes it relatively easy to find places where they don't seem crowded at all. A large ship also has the advantage of a more stable platform in rough seas. All in all, our worst rocky ride was on one of the smaller ships we cruised on in 1997.

In reply to photobyjohnbo.Wow, that's massive! We're looking at possible Arctic cruises for next summer and I'm concerned a 100 passenger ship is a bit big :D
