I do not take expensive taxis run by what I consider to be a mafia. Most airports have a cheap way of getting to/from as I don't believe the workers there all have cars or use taxis. A friend of mine says there is a bus from the airport going to Boca Chica but I have never seen it.
Do you think it is possible for someone light on luggage to walk to the gua gua stop on the main highway? Or just get a cab to there instead of into the city (Santo Domingo)? Or a colectivo? I arrive in the afternoon and speak Spanish.
Another airport question: I have seen these rip off currency exchange booths popping up at various airports giving tourists horrible rates of exchange, so I hope a legit bank still operates there. Am I right?
The more determined airports are to fleece us, the more determined I get to pay fair prices.
Thanks for any responses.
