Day 5: Beach Day!

7.3.12.

Because of the hard work we had accomplished in the last 3 days, we were all awarded a beach day at Cabarete. We were also permitted to wake up relatively late, however I woke up a little too late and me and my roommate missed the best-breakfast-of-the-trip: granola, yogurt and eggs. After stuffing down a cliff bar, we arrived at Cabarete where 8 of us decided to go windsurfing. We paid for an hours lesson, where we learned the basics of the basics and practiced them with the instructor on land, and two hours on the water, where we shared two people to one board.

Our group ranged from pretty successful to utter failure (I was closer to the latter), and although it may have been a slight waste of $40 and the majority of our beach time, we all decided it was a fun experience to cross off our bucket lists. After ordering some surprisingly expensive and somewhat American pizza, we headed back to complete our general afternoon routine of pool, dinner, discussion. I fell asleep on the hammock, exhausted after only partial success at windsurfing (my best was probably 20 feet before crashing to the water) and had a nice pre-cena nap.

After dinner, we had a massage party which pretty much consisted of Hunter making his way round the table as we played cards and wrote the group blog, as he was the only one who could give a good massage. We headed back to our cabins then, to pack for the upcoming 5 day trip we were going to embark on tomorrow, where we'd head to a plant nursery and hostile hidden in the montanas,  Santa Domingo's slums and technology school and finally to Dave's Beach Comber.
