DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 2015 PART 2: Day of Exploring

Time went so fast on this holiday I didn't go on many trips out but the first one I went on we got to drive our own buggy's through the sugar cane fields and up some very bump and hilly roads. 

Motorbikes, there are as many if not more than there are cars.
Cane fields for endless miles.





Driving further where we experienced horse riding, cigar making and a look into the coffee and cocoa beans fields.






View from where we were.
I didn't do the horse riding but I loved the coffee and cocoa beans along with vanilla, all local produce and all things I love!





They told us the whole process of their produce.

Different types of beans






After driving through the sugar cane fields, looking at cigar making and local coffee beans, vanilla and cocoa, which we all had an opportunity to buy, and the horse riding; if that wasn't enough we had a chance to zip line as well! We explored so much just driving through and learning more about what the Dominican Republic has to offer, originally I had no idea what I was going to do here.








Along the roads...






Afterwards we had some time at a beach but I wasn't too interested in that - took some lovely photos, absorbed the beautiful view in the heat and then went back to the hotel after a long day exploring the island.







This excursions was such a full packed one but it was great to see everything. It really makes you see the different culture and lifestyle they have compared to your own and see the differences and beauty within other areas of the world.

Have you seen Part 1: Around the Hotel ? Let me know what you think of the pictures!

PARIS 2013 PART 2: Views from Arc de Triomphe & Visiting the Louvre

The city of lights.
 
The second day of exploring this city I saw it from the top of the Arc de Triomphe. The stairs to reach the top took forever but it is worth it! 
















We took the same hop on and off bus which took us around the same path but took it to the end to get the chance to see what we didn't see the day before.





This included The Louvre, Nortre Dame and Love Lock bridge!







The museum is so big I didn't get time to look at all of it so I skip to the most famous painting - Mona Lisa.





Love Lock Bridge

Notre Dame
This is one of the cities I absolutely love being in and can't wait to visit again some day.

Have you ever visited Paris, what was your favourite part?
