My first trip in the Dominican Republic! It was a short 18 hour one to La Romana since I had to work at the hostel, but I managed to go in-between a morning an evening shift the next day. La Romana is only about a 2 hour drive from Santo Domingo, so it is easy to reach. From there you can take a boat to Isla Catalina, a small island just off the coast, and ideal for doing some swimming in the ocean. This trip was my first time getting around the DR by bus and it definitely an experience haha. You arrive at the bus terminal, say which place you want to go to and are then put on a bus. Usually you have no idea what is going on and just got to hope that you’re going to end up at the right place. Up until now, that has always worked out for me :). When visiting La Romana, we pretty much were the only tourists and as always the walking attraction around town. Especially as two women you can expect to be called and looked at, however it is something you simply have to get used to. To sum up this short trip, it was the ideal mix of enjoying food and cold beers at the beach and taking a short little boat ride to a new island. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
