After waiting almost all summer time, it was finally our time to get some rest and have a long break from work, usual life and stress. It was time for us to move out of Grenoble for an exiting place:
Dominican Republic
More precisely, the village of Boca Chica at Dominican Bay resort. This village is located on the coast, in the south of Dominican republic, 1 hour driving distance from the Santo Domingo. The average annual temperature is 79°F, let's just say we had most of the time a wonderful and very sunny weather.
During this vacation time, we took some organized tours and went by ourselves to Santo Domingo.
