Regular visitors to the site will be aware that we have recently been to the Dominican Republic.
We have not returned empty handed!
If you click on the `Video`s` tab in the top left hand corner you will find video`s for some of the great vacation locations such as Cayo Levantado and Catalina Island.
There are also some fascinating interviews with Dominican people [with English transcripts] and video reviews of top Dominican Republic golf courses.
Check out video of the first 9 holes at Playa Grande golf course.
There will be further video reviews of other leading Dominican golf courses such as `Teeth of the Dog` and `La Estancia` appearing here in the next few weeks.
Have a look up north
If you are considering taking a vacation to the Dominican Republic why not consider having a look at the north coast.
Cabarete [see right] is world famous for its wind-surfing and kite-surfing.
You could also think about Sosua or Puerto Plata.
Punta Cana and Bavaro
For holiday makers an extremely popular part of the country is the Punta Cana and Bavaro coast line.
Quite simply, this area delivers the classic Caribbean experience, and at a high level: white sands, blue skies, palm trees and warm, clear turquoise sea.
As well as providing a fine range of hotels, this area boasts many activities including scuba diving, sports fishing, watersports and great golf.
This area was my first destination when I first visited the Dominican Republic.

Whale watching in Samana, Dominican Republic
Many people who are unfamiliar with the Dominican Republic will be unaware that it is one of the best places in the world to go whale watching.
Samana Bay is located on the East coast of the island. Every year between January and March, an estimated 5,000 humpback whales arrive to breed and rear their newborn calves in a massive but shallow lagoon, ideal for breeding and whale watching.
These fantastic creatures are now well habituated to the whale watching boats. They seem to carry on their often hilarious
antics and courtship routines oblivious to the floating human traffic above. They are even known for jumping
out of the water to give a photo opportunity!

Prison gigs:
In 2006 Andy Ashcroft [British Ambassador to the DR], Roberto Santana [a Dominican TV host] and myself played 2 gigs at the Najayo women`s prison
in Dominican Republic. The second gig was in front of wife of the Dominican President. Check out the story and photo`s below.

Some merengue recommendations
Juan Luis Guerra is the most popular merengue artist in the Dominican Republic.
His greatest hits collection is a must!
A Bachata recommendation
Bachata is also incredibly popular in the Dominican Republic.
The following album gives a good feel for this type of music.
