Santo Domingo

We are having a great time here in Dominican Republic. We have rented motorbikes with no lisence and drove all the way to Cabarete, a very long beach and a surfers paradise. The traffic was really chaotic, especially in Puerto Plata. Now we have left Bonanza in Luperon and have taken the bus to Santo Domingo, the capital. This is an old city and a lot to see if your interested in history. The city has a city wall to protect it from pirates in the 16th century. We will stay here a couple of days before moving to the interior and the national park with alot of tall mountanins. Actually, the highest mountain in carribean, Duante, lies there.

Luperon is a small town with really many yachties. The marina and the yacht club is where the yachties mingle. We have got to know the family on the norwegian boat Veto and had a great time with them. We have also got to know Rafael, a previous proffesional baseball player, that now are working driving el comandante around to newly arrived sailboats.
