Planning to be there in November '14 and need to know what a short trip in el Batey costs, or a trip to Charamicos from Banco Popular, or a trip on the guagua from Sos?a to Cabarete, any help would be great. Can't wait, need the ocean.

Figure RD$25 Sosua to Cabarete publico/guagua before 6, a little more at night.

Around Sosua the moto concho rate seems to be RD$50. Don't know what it is from the bank to Charamicos.

50rd for moto in the day. They will try 100rd at night, tell them 50rd is all u have. Even the taxis at night will not double their fee along the highway.... Gua Gua for Sosua - Cabarete I think is 25RD...

Let me correct the information I posted.

In Sosua, the charge depends on where you are going. It can be as low as RD$25 and more than RD$100. If a moto concho goes from El Neptuno, where I live, to Playero, the charge is RD$25 each way. But it will likely be more if you go further.

Of course if they don't know you, expect to pay more.

To go from Banco Popular to Charamicos, i'm told the charge is RD$50. This is more than you would pay if you walked to the highway and took a guagua or publico to Charamicos, but the moto concho will take you to your destination.

It is a nice along the beach to Charamicos, and there is no charge for that.

Charamicos from Banco Popular = 25 pesos
Sosua abajo to somewhere in Sosua abajo = 25 pesos
Sosua abajo to Sosua hill = 50 pesos

at night double these amount

never say a concho that you go to a bank, say you go near a bank, wait a little and then enter the bank

Does anyone have any idea how much it costs for a pencil in the supermarket in Sousa. Just a regular #2 pencil, nothing fancy. Also, if I drove to Puerto Plata, would I get one cheaper there....??


Here's a deal you can't pass up................
Forget Puerto Plata..........
Drive to Santiago and I will give you 3, #2 pencils FOR FREE..............
And, I'll toss in a free t-shirt that will say........
"I drove from Sosua to Santiago for 3 free pencils"............:p

Oh Snap ! I want a t-shirt too !
How much would a concho be from LT ?
Of course, I would withdraw money to pay the fare before the trip.

We bring several hundred pencils every January to Sosua as well as other school supplies. I will save you a couple for free when we get there. I also sharpen them as a bonus....for free.

DR1 is a fun and generous community.

Now, allow Chip to pray that Lucky Raaay will share a pencil or 2 with the OP.

Amen :)

I understand ~the fare from Sosua to Cabarete is a No. 2 Farber pencil..

I'll be bringing down some school supplies on my next trip for handouts. You can get a gross of golf pencils for about $10 at Home Depot and 50 cent carpenter pencils last for a month..

Sooo,
If I understand correctly,

You pay one pencil and get a free rubber on the end of it...

Have I got it right now?
