This evening, I finished placing the order for the new caribbean surf camp furniture, kitchen, fittings, lighting, crockery, lounge chairs, etc etc.  18 hours in Ikea, Sunrise Miami + about 12 hours ordering on line and speaking with the freight-forwarding company and I am ready to relax – or should I say drop……..maybe into one of these great chairs we ordered………

I am so happy with the outcome of this shopping trip and mainly for the help that a lovely guy called Charles Wing (Ikea Business) gave me in placing the order.  Ikea is based on a self-service principle, but quite honestly, I would have filled up about 40 shopping carts or more with the stuff that I’ve bought in that 18 hour marathon.

I cannot wait to see all the cool things in place in the hostel; budget does not mean ‘crap’ anymore and Swell Surf Camp in the Dominican Republic is about to set a whole new standard in budget accommodation.
