VILLAS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

| Sea Horse Ranch 97 - Dominican Republic |
The Dominican Republic or the Republic of Dominicana, whatever way you like. I have very fond memories of a holiday to the Dominican Republic way back in the 1990's I went to a place called Juan Dolio on the Caribbean Sea side of the island, the other side being on the North Antlantic Ocean.
I, along with my better half, went on one of those all inclusive jobs to a site in Juan Dolio and really had a ball. The place it'self was a bit basic but it was clean and the staff were very polite and helpful.
We spent a lot of the time on the beach and because we had only 1 week to get a tan, we "made hay" whilst the sun shone.
On our first trip to the beach there were many vendors offering local souvenirs, hair braiding and such like. There was one guy, however, selling something I had never heard of before, these were called "Ouches!" on close inspection they turned out to be flip-flops!
Anyway, I didn´t want any as I had my own footwear with me. I was confused why they were called "Ouches!" as being a Spanish speaker, I didn´t know of any Spanish sounding word like "Ouches!" (pronounced "Ow-chez")
I decided to go for a dip in the Caribbean, noting that no Shark has ever attacked anyone in six inches of water, I reckoned I was safe from Jaws or any Great White that may have got lost by a few thousand miles.
No sooner had I stepped into the water, I stood on a lump of sharp coral as I did so, I let out the loudest shriek of pain you have ever heard "Ouch!"
Having now realised the significance in their name, I purchased two pair of "Ouches!" from the grinning footware vendor there and then. Lesson learned.
Anyway, back to Jamaican Treasures and My Luxury Villas who have some cracking villas on the Island, take a look at this featured villa Sea Horse ranch Nº97
