Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo

20th January - 8th February 2006.

Santo Domingo, such a contrast to the wealth of the Bahamas. The difference was evident as soon as we went out, with street children asking for money all the time.

It was great that Steve’s parents came out to visit us and we took a couple of days off to spend time with them and explored the surroundings.

During the ship’s visit in Santo Domingo we were able to work with Samaritan’s purse again and provide Christmas boxes to many children who came on board for gospel programs, which Stan & Anne helped out with.

During this port Kathryn changed jobs and became the Assistant Purser and Captain’s PA. She is now involved with port authorities as well as making sure the ship is running legally and all crew are trained.
