Paradise Island

We took a VIP excursion to Paradise Island and were delighted to find out that the sun did shine for more than ten minutes in the Dominican Republic. Breakfast and drinks were awaiting us aboard the yacht as we first took a ride to a swimming/floating spot. We were served tiny, fresh oysters and champagne once we boarded the boat again. Then a short trip to Santa Rosa for a banana boat ride, and a Dominican lunch with Coco Locos (coconut juice with rum). Finally, we arrived at Paradise Island, which was basically a sand bar with five huts...no restrooms. We went snorkeling and enjoyed just being out in the sun. Ah...paradise!
Our ride


Taking in the scenery


The view from our swimming spot


Trung lost at "ocean"


Drinks and noodles


The moment I had been waiting for...oysters!



Snappy pelicans at Santa Rosa; you don't want to get too close to those things!


Get in the boat, the banana boat! Falling off is a must!


How about them coconuts!


Alas, Paradise Island


The day was so sunny that Trung couldn't keep from squinting.


Trung and the tide


Trung staring out into the endless wonder


Trung's artistic picture


Footprints in the sand


Artistic Trung again



Trung got the camera wet filming this clip, hope it was worth it.
