A trip in search of the humpback whales

  • by

In the first months of the year thousands of humpback whales gather in the Samana Bay offering a unique show that is repeated every year in the Dominican Republic. These whales, also called Yubartas, go from mid-January to the end of March to the warm waters of the Samana Bay, in the north of the country, to mate or to have their baby. It is the occasion to be able to spot these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat and enjoy a unique tourist attraction in the Caribbean.

The whales travel thousands of kilometers from the seas of Iceland, Greenland and North America to end their journey in the Samana Bay. It is surprising the unwieldiness of these bulky animals, which can weigh 40 tons, jumping on the waves and then collapsing on them. This way the males behave to wake up the interest of the females, while emitting characteristic sounds that can be heard within a radius of 30 kilometers around the water.Read More »A trip in search of the humpback whales

What to take on a trip with babies and children

  • by

However, depending on the destination and the means of transport, there are things that are going to be essential, but always with the basic premise of carrying what is just and necessary.

Before Travel

What we should prepare for the trip will depend a lot on the transportation time, the means we will use and the age of the child.

The first thing to keep in mind is our son’s food. If it is a baby that takes exclusively the breast, the food we have resolved. If our child drinks a bottle, we must count on having the milk powder in a well-closed bottle and having adequate bottle water and thinking about where to heat the milk.Read More »What to take on a trip with babies and children

Best Upmarket Places to Eat and Drink in Vientiane Laos

  • by

One thing that Laotians love to do is go out for a meal and down a few beers. Sure, there are standalone bars, but many of the better ones serve something to enjoy with an alcoholic beverage or non-alcoholic drink. So, whether you go to a bar or a restaurant, you’ll usually be able to find something good to eat and drink in Vientiane.

Also, bear in mind that Lao people can get a bit rowdy when they’ve had a few, so most nights can end up a little boisterous unless you opt for a luxurious place that doesn’t tolerate that sort of thing.

Elephant Lounge

Let’s start with the luxurious Elephant Lounge. Here you can relax in carefully designed interiors, enjoy their own branded whiskey and appreciate the sophisticated air of the place. While outside their doors might be more hustle and bustle, indoors it’s air-conditioned splendor. Read More »Best Upmarket Places to Eat and Drink in Vientiane Laos

Fishing

There is not much more satisfying than hooking a big one and then frying it up on the fire if it is not hooked on a catch and release basis. Remember to obey the rules of the environment you are in and to always treat nature with the greatest of respect.Read More »Let’s go camping and fishing
