My girlfriend and I are going to the Dominican Republic, Cabarete, on the  
5th of december and stay for 14 days. We are flying with MARTINAIR  
directly from Amsterdam to Puerto Plata. Any thoughts about Cabarete,  
Windsurfing, restaurants, etc. would be appreciated. Also any experiences  
with MARTINAIR.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Please send e-mail directly to me!

Cabarete is a pretty cool place.  I was there a few winters ago.  The
sailing, frankly, when I was there, was pretty marginal. but I hear that
it can shred.  Inside the bay was pretty choppy but not wild.  Out on the
reef was excellent.

It can get pretty crowded with pretty unfriendly european sailors who
don't believe in right of way courtesy (Sorry for trashing all europeans).

The cool thing about the DR is the great scenerey.  If you have a calm day
consider going horseback riding or, better yet, rent a motorcycle and ride
up to the windmill restaurant.  It is about 1.5 hrs from Cabarete but has
the most amazing tropical view I have ever seen.

Don't be had by the "customs" officials.  Only pay $1 or $2 MAX per bag to
be officially checked through.

Good luck!
