In Nagua – typical dominican town

[...Read the full version of my guide to the real Dominican Republic...]

So I'm leaving today Maimon, charming town somewhere in the middle - of nowhere in Dominican Republic. And I'm going to Nagua. With the map road shouldnt be that difficult; unfortunately I got lost around 50 km after Maimon, and instead of going to Nagua, I went to San Francisco de Macoris...Fortunately, just in San Francisco, it is still just 3 pm. So if I will go fast on my 110 cc demon- bike ;-), I should be in Nagua still before dark. There is still a chance...Thank god that the road from San Francisco de Macoris to Nagua is in good condition and I can easily ride here 80-90 km/h. Somewhere in Castillo, few dozen kilometres before Nagua the rain catches me. Another stop. Just to wait until it will stop raining....

The closest to Nagua beach - Poza de Bojola is unfortunately very polluted with trash. What is nice here though is [...read more...]
