I?m making a trip the end of February and going to Semana with my wife and another couple. Taking AA into SDQ that arrives 11:36AM. I have read all the Horror stories about driving in DR and have experienced it on a tour ride from POP a couple of years ago. I drive a 18 wheeler around the NYC area and have driven all over Mexico including DF. No where can be worse than cuidad de Mexico.
My question is by the time we get through customs and get our car will we have enough time to get to Las Terranas before dark. We are arriving on a Monday and was wondering how much of a cluster F.. it is getting out SDQ and through SD. What is the best route. I hear it is a 4 hour ride. What are my chances getting hit up by la policia? What time does it get dark at the end of February?
I?m not really all that exited about making this drive but like the option of having a 4WD to get tool around Semana. Don?t really want to spend the night in SD and start in morning. But I guess taking a cab or a charter flight is a possibility and then rent a Jeep in Las Terranas, but this would cost us more of course. Hablo un poco espanola or enough to get by.
Any Help would be appreciated.
