Two pig ignorant, scumbag fishermen in Punta Cana decided to catch a harmless nurse shark, tie a rope to its tail and keep it tied up all day long whilst charging money to tourists for photos. These two fishermen are a disgrace to their trade and their country. Shame on them and anybody dumb enough to pay them money.

Why did no one put a stop to this immediately or report it to the authorities?!

Dominican Garden in Bayhaibe Dominican Republic
watch our Bayahibe garden’s progress!

A while back we moved from Punta Cana to live 90 minutes away in Bayahibe on the south coast (better sea and wind conditions for our Stand Up Paddle Boarding business).

We’re living in an apartment in a nice, quiet little complex that has some modest but beautiful tropical landscape planting. Part of our own garden runs along an ugly grey, featureless wall. I got bored of looking at it so decided to try my hand at gardening in an attempt to cover the wall with pretty climbing plants and Dominican fruits.  Read More→
