I sent a mail to one of my mates this morning – he was asking, what r you doing for lunch today. For the first time in 5 years, I had to reply, sorry, but we’re too busy! Blimey, he replied, that’s something you don’t hear very often here. I think we have had about [...]
It’s never been my thing to ‘ride’ a bike to a DVD. Normally, it’s in front of a rather effeminate, pretty guy or a beefed up manly looking woman – neither of which the average person wants to become. These people are trying their best, motivating you to get on your stationary bike and ‘pretend’ [...]
What a week! – so, Spinning will not close down after all. It seems that I cannot do it to my members (they won’t let me). With the support of some major players in the town, we have spent the last days trying to arrange and organize things to carry on and I think that [...]
For four years, my instructors and I have been teaching Spinning classes in Cabarete. We do it, not for the money (‘cos it’s not profitable) but because we LOVE it. We began it as a hobby and basically, have been subsidizing it for a long time so that we and my dedicated clients could continue [...]
Hello everyone, I am the only one who sees an irony in Earth Day? Last evening, my sons’ school had a concert to celebrate it. The children sang nice songs about not cutting down the trees, not using your car too much, conserving energy and other such worthy stuff. But, where were we? At the [...]

So, we stood at the beach this afternoon and looked at the kiters on the water – wind was quite alright really. But, it just wasn’t perfect – it had the audacity to be a bit gusty and at times, well, light. Simple fact is that when the day before it was a full-on 23 [...]
06.30am Cabarete Bay Sunrise 16th April 2009 Swell Surf Camp, Cabarete – opens November 2009.
When my son and I were driving back from kite beach yesterday we both agreed that we love living here and we are lucky to be doing so. Whatever challenges you have to face with life, it often makes it easier when the sun is shining and the wind blowing most of the time and [...]
Euan (complete with Skim Ice stains on his shirt) and Frankie this week at Kite Beach As busy and crazy as Cabarete became during Semana Santa, we really enjoyed our spring break, no school, morning lie-ins, etc. etc. We had the most perfect weather (before the summer heat hits) and some wind for kiting. No [...]
