La Romana was the departure port for many guests and of course the cabins had to be filled again. This always brings a lot of turbulence to the ship. We wanted to avoid the hustle and bustle and decided to take a full-day excursion to Sanoa Island. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and La Romana greeted us with rain. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better throughout the day and we had a mix of sun, clouds, and occasional rain showers from above. The tour started at 8:00 am in the theater and we drove for about 15 minutes to the marina in Bahlebil. A catamaran was waiting for us here. To reach it, we had to take small speedboats that drive about 500 meters. Changing boats was a pretty funny affair. We found a spot in the net of the catamaran and made ourselves comfortable there. We quickly noticed that we were repeatedly getting splashed with water in our spot. However, since the water was very warm, it didn't bother us much. The crew made great efforts to put us in the mood with rum punch and Caribbean music. There was a lot of dancing and laughing. We stopped at a sandbank and could enjoy the moment standing in waist-deep water while sipping another rum punch. A photographer took photos of us there. The further journey became a bit wetter as it rained heavily. But since we were already wet from swimming, it didn't matter much. We made a stop in front of Sanoa Island and were taken ashore by small speedboats. The island itself was truly Caribbean. White sandy beaches, a lot of palm trees, and an interior rainforest with a great variety of plants. Absolutely beautiful. Sunbeds were already set up on the beach for us and a Caribbean buffet was waiting for us. We had 150 minutes of free time here, which we spent exploring the island and of course swimming in the water. Absolutely beautiful. The return journey was done in a large speedboat, so it only took half the time, but we had a lot of fun.
