First post.. ohh yeeeaahh

Howdy all,
So, my first post :) Well lets use this time to get some things out there..

Yours truly has just arrived back off holiday 2 days ago, had the best time ever ^_^ Went to the lovely Riu Bambu in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for 2 weeks, and am still yet to upload the photos to Facebook. Dunno whats got into me, im guessing it has something to do with me taking like... 900 or something stupid :S haha.
Well, I would defo recommend everyone to go there, but if you do make sure you go AI, its VERY expensive over there.
We did 4 excursions all in all, Outback Safari, Dolphin Funtastic, Saona Island and Reef Explorer. Had an excellent time and would recommend them all :)
Outback Safari was great, got to meet some of the locals and see how coffee, chocolate and mamajuana is made, we then got to taste what they had just made! But be warned.. the taste is disgusting :P haha
Dolphin Funtastic was good too, we kissed a dolphin, then got the dance with him and feed him. Also we made him jump over a bar which was fun. Also they had Sea Lions there and we got a kiss off one too :) Got some great pics will upload them eventually.
Saona Island, well words can't even describe how beautiful it is ^_^ We travelled there on a catamaran which was awesome, just chilled in the sun in the middle of the Caribbean Sea :) spent about 3 hours at Saona and dinner and drinks were all free, then we were taken (in a speedboat) to a natural bath about a mile off the shore. Surprisingly it was quite shallow, only about 5/6ft deep. It was unbelievable, there were starfish just chillaxin at the bottom, and we got to hold them and we took pics (also will be uploaded, eventually) ^_^ Oh and we got to feed Piranas! (From the safety of the speedboat.. haha safety?)

And finally Reef Explorer, my favourite out of all the excursions :) We were taken to the south coast (Caribbean Sea were its warm) and brought out on a speedboat to a platform in the middle of the sea, about 2 miles out. There were 6 activities available and we could choose what we wanted when we wanted if we wanted lol :P
First we did Snorkelling (masks snorkel and flippers were given to us) and we swam all around the coral reefs. I couldn't believe how many fish there were, hundreds.. thousands even! We took bread in with us and fed them from our hands, but it was rather awkward cause i'd never swam with flippers before lol
Then we went and had some lunch, well.. i say lunch i had 1 butty and some pineapple lol. All free again which was good. Next we went into the enclosure which had the GIANT stingrays, 18 in all. Got my pic taken (soom to be uploaded), and then had a swim with them. Without knowing it, we ventured into the enclosure with the sharks in, but it was all cool they were just chillin on the bottom lol.
Before we knew it 4 hours was nearly up, so I got in my last activity.. the one i think i might need again right now haha.. free massage :) mmm it was brilliant! lol The other activities included Kayaks, sun loungers and floating loungers which go on the sea.

The activities at the beach on our resort were cool too, all non motorised watersports were free, so we made good use of them :) First we did Kayaks.. fucking shit myself I did haha. Ive used Kayaks in a lake before but the sea is totally different, nearly fell off like a million times lol. Then me and Dean hired a peddleboat, also rather scary haha. On the last day we got Snorkels.. but to our dissapointment there weren't many fish :/ oh well lol

Oh and the shows in the Riu Bambu were awesome too! I've just noticed this blog entry is like a total essay, so ill slow down now lol. The animácion team work so hard but they don't show it, they all look like they're having so much fun and are always very friendly. They have a different show everynight.. i can't even choose which was my favourite! lol

Anyway, on to other matters.. I enrolled for Uni today, got my student card which means im officially a student as of today LOL. Dreading Monday (the day i start) .. really worried I'll hate it, or I'll hate the people, or I'll be the only girl or something oh dear lol

And on to sad news, poor little Otto died while we were away :( He was very old anyway though, I think we were all expectin it to be honest. Also someone from Deans family died while we were away too :( Needless to say, we didn't come home to a happy environment understandably. I feel sorry for Dean, he was so happy to be home, and that was what he was told in the car on the way back :/ he's ok though
