We left bright and early, a las ocho en la mañana, on Thursday and were in the beautiful city of Samaná by 11! We drop our stuff off at our "hotel", which is more of a motel, and head straight to the beach! Since we only had half of the day left, we drove to a beach about and hour away and enjoyed having the place all to ourselves!
The rest of the night was spent eating dinner and getting to bed early - we had a big day ahead of us. We're up by 8 on Friday morning and are off to Salto El Limon, which is a breathtaking waterfall that was well worth the trip! After about a 40 minute hike into the jungle, we find a waterfall. Needless to say, we were slightly disappointed until we found out that this was NOT the one we were here to see. 20 minutes and a trek down the mountain, we feel the spray of the massive waterfall and can't wait to dive in! Sadly, we could only jump off of the small rocks, but you can be sure that we took full advantage of those rocks. This pictures I have don't do it justice, but the 160 foot tall waterfall was beyond amazing! (Google it!) We swam around in the pool for a while, even went behind the waterfall in to a little cave. I felt like I was in a movie, no joke!
About an hour later, and we were on our way to yet another breathtaking beach in Las Terranas. This was of counse another playa that I could've stayed at all day.
As the night began to fall, the night life came alive! Since we've grown to love dancing, we head down to the local car wash. Sounded strange at first, but this was the place to be if you wanted to go dancing. We ended up spending Friday and Saturday night dancing with the locals and really enjoying the culture. I know I didn't mention Saturday during the day - but it was nothing too exciting. Just spent the whole day on a smaller island, about 20 minutes from the main land. I don't have any pictures, but you can be sure that this beach was as gorgeous as all of the others!
I don't really have much else to say. It was an amazing and relaxing weekend and it makes me want to live here, without a doubt! There's is just so much beauty in this country, and I highly recommend that you visit if you ever have the chance! Until tomorrow, duerme bien!
