I am curious to know how many of you guys could keep busy in Sosua for a month without a car ? I am moving to the West Coast soon and the DR will be very far for me to travel to. I have an itch to do it just one more time before I leave NYC.
The thing is I do long term trips like a month at a time. Two weeks in Sosua is like staying for 2 years. I walk the main street a million times a day. After a few days the town gets on my nerves. I like to explore and do activities like ATV's hiking fishing etc. but my budget after hotel will only be $$125 in my pocket per day.
I've been to Santiago but didn't see much worth staying for minus a day or two. Puerto Plata seemed somewhat interesting but I think Sosua is a better deal since the beach is a lot closer.
I hate being stuck in Sosua but I LOVE being in the DR. I love the whole vibe down there. I want to do cool things but I don't know if I am limiting myself by missing something.
When I was last in Sosua I found myself wanting to rent a bicycle. Any rentals available these days ? I also wanted to take bachata lessons. Any decent places to learn minus the goofy language schools ?
Tours out of my budget ?
I have a new found appreciation for cigars. I thought maybe I could learn about the process and visit a few factories. Maybe that would only be worth one "tour" . What else could I expect to learn about cigars...right !
Anyways I am trying to convince myself that I can keep busy.
Thanks for reading.
