I am hideously bored living in the paradise of the Dominican Republic. I could probably add most of the Caribbean as well but where O where can one find some adventure? I am absolutely not interested in sitting on a beach or seeing yet another 'Beautiful Paradise Beach' or chasing 'love for hire' answers to my erotic fantasies,(and subsequent disappointment,emotionally and financially) so forgive me, but what is there to do here in the Caribbean??
I have spent most of my life in strange and interesting places (30 + years in Africa for starters) and now I am in the DR and struggling to find something,not even life-changing or exotic, to do.
The idea of a world cruise on the top cruise liner would not only kill me but make me 100 lbs heavier before I die of ennui.
Climbing Pico Duarte would just dent my pride and pocketbook (and last liver reserves) to see what? Clouds from the top? Been there> Done it.
4x4 across fantastic terrain with challenging ravines and ditches?Technical challenge and human skill? Tame and expensive.
So.
Can anyone suggest some sort of challenge we could do (or I could do) that would drag me from this torpor of lotus eating?
(I guess from most of DR1 posters, I am not living on too much hope of a constructive answer but sometimes....)
