my reputation as a bearer of bad news is sealed so i may just as well go on, right?
two articles in local POP press:
Delincuentes siguen indetenibles asaltando turistas en Puerto Plata - Puerto Plata Digital
they talk about 3 separate attacks on gringos in POP: yesterday in cofresi, two days ago in a city center and last weekend in torre alta.
another one here:
HOTELERO JULIO ALMONTE DEFINE COMO PREOCUPANTE ROBOS CONTRA TURISTAS EN PUERTO PLATA
talks about 12 different incidents involving foreigners in january and the first week of february.
don't think that the carnival does not have someone closely looking at dominican press, observing the situation. lots has been promised lately in terms of making POP a capital of dominican tourism yet again, making it the most beautiful city of DR. without better security measures it will never happen...
