on the road 1

Today we planned a long car ride from Trinidad to Santo Domingo (7.5h)
The road took us along desert like tundra, thousands palm trees, small villages and many unbelievably green rice fields.
We passed many carriages, overcrowded busses, bicycles and motorcycles. Some cars were in conditions that you probably land in jail if you drive one of them in Switzerland😂
They let black smoke out of the muffler, the engine hood just opened from time to time and the motor sounded like it’s crying for help….

It was a loooong drive and our AC in the car overwhelmed the engine so we had to drive with open window. The thermostat slowly passed over the 30°C mark and the sun burned down on us without mercy🔥🥵
We were more than happy when we finally drove slowly up the mountains and the air cooled down!Baca lagi
