Tony Paragliding above Jarabacoa.

Tony having a brief chat in Spanish with his local instructor, having just landed after a scintillating paragliding experience over mountainous Jarabacoa, central Dominican Republic. This is one of the cooler places in this magnificent Caribbean island.

Video: Jimenoa Waterfall

Tony standing at the edge of a large pool full of cold water. The pool is created by the crashing waters of Salto Jemenoa (Jimenoa Waterfall) in Jarabacoa. A mountainous town in central Dominican Republic. This delightful waterfall, reached by hiking down a steep and muddy trail with many switchbacks, through dense forest, reaches a height of approximately 35 metres. The sound is wonderful.

Country 124

Tony now in Haiti, country 124 on the official UN list.

Giving a Little Talk!

Gave a talk at Northampton Associated for the Blind today at their AGM in Northampton, East Middlands. Met some interesting people and had an excellent time :). I love talking about my travels; showing people what can be done and achieved with a little help and a positive mindset. Hope everyone is having a great and/or productive day. I realise life can be difficult and challenging at times, but together, with help from each other,
