Me and my wife and 1,5 year old baby want to go for a week backpacking. It happens that the time will be the Holy Week. My questions then:
1. Can we get from PP to SD and back easily during this week or will all the buses be jam packed? Do they still go every hour or is the frequency very rare towards the end of the week?
2. Are stores, museums and restuarants open on Good Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
3. Do you have any other recommedations on where to go except from PP and SD. We will have probably 2 more days to spend but we need to rely on public transport and we need to consider the baby so 5 hours on a local bus one way is unfortuanately out of question this time...:-(

Thank you very much for all your kind help if you can lend any advise. We really want to visit DR but I want to make sure we are not stuck in the place where there is nowhere to go.. I know we need to book hotels now and I am intedning to do so. ANyway, thanks in advance!
