I’ve got two weeks at the end of January.
I’ve narrowed 8t down to two possibilities. Colombia and a rocking good time with a friend for a week the. Wander on my own for a week.
Or, DR with a three day side trip to cap-Haitien.
I would cross at dajabon and spend two nights, three if I like it.
I definitely want a guide or at least a creole amd Spanish speaking companion. I could do public transport with a competent companion, but I just don’t want to go there alone.
The point of this thread is...
Does anyone know a trusted guide? There was a thread opened awhile ago that got no hits. I’ve read through the Haïti sub and found good info. Dr1 always provides.
I’m going to fly into STI and go back via SDQ. I don’t want to give SD more than four days of my trip.
Order of preference is to meet in Santiago. Honestly, I want someone to walk me through the border. Presumably there are many Haitians who speak Spanish near dajabon. I just don’t want to wander from line to chaotic line appearing lost.
If we travel by Caribe bus and taxi I pay all the expenses and meals while traveling. I’ll provide a room in the same hotel.
So...if it’s an “official tour guide” what’s the going daily rate.
If it’s a trusted college student with a few days off class.
A person of good character who is competent at dealing with officials in uniform and hotel reception desks.
I’ve been holding off for a few days on posting this. I’ve got to decide soon.
A few extra thoughts.
I expect cap-Haitien to be a dump. It’s a bucket list thing and this short vacation alone is an opportunity.
Hotels in cap-Haitien are all dumps and cost twice as much as DR. Still cheap for a EuroCanUsa budget.
I dislike poverty tours and that feels like what I’m getting myself into. I want to tour the crumbled palace a somehow get up,to the citadel. (Laziest option, for sure).
Any info people would care to share about their trips to sans souci, citadel and cap-Haitien would be greatly appreciated.
How bad is the internet going to Suck? Will I be able to get it there with an open iphine7+. Inalso have an open iPhone 5.
Thanks guys.
