Hi All,
We are a 50 something couple, visiting Puerto Plata early March.
I have read most of the "do not drive here" posts all over the web about the area.
I have decided to rent a car for the week anyway. (will likely get soaked for Insurance costs, LOL) and I am OK with it.
I've driven extensively in Central America and other places around the world...so, I have decided to go and do it anyway. I believe I can cope. Likely, no night driving if it can be helped.
I want to visit the north coast from Puerto Plata to Samana Bay, so renting seems best.
Thinking of heading out to Punta Rucia as well, but not firm, might just to the bus/boat tour to the Cayo Arena.
Anyone here in our area?
Bill and Nadine.
