All --
we're returning to DR and this time heading to Las Galeras. We're arriving in Puerto Plata around 2:30PM and, preferably, would like to head out immediately to Las Galeras:
1. Does a decent LARGE bus run from Puerto Plata to Las Galeras, or do I need to go to Samana and then take a more local transport? Sorry, we've done the very small local vans across DR and don't want to repeat.
2. If there is a large bus, does anyone know schedule (to Samana or Las Galeras)? Can we leave that same afternoon?
3. If we have to overnight in Puerto Plata to wait for the bus, any suggestions for a decent hotel (USD50-75) near Bus Station?
4. Any idea as to Taxi cost? We're saving money on the flight so we may splurge on a taxi.
5. Any other options to get to Las Galeras? Small prop planes, etc?
6. Finally, how long should we expect the trip to be from Puerto Plata to Las Galeras?
Thanks very much for any advice/spirits,
