• Day 3. Puerta Plata Dominican Republic

    May 16, 2024 in Dominican Republic ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

    I got up at 5:30 and walked up to the Spinnaker Lounge to get some internet minutes and also read and cross stitch.

    Beautiful day here in Puerto Plata. 80 degrees. Hot.

    Glenn and I took a tuk tuk to the tourist area and then we walked to the umbrella street. We had 2 goals today. 1) Find a tapiceria to repair my Texas HEB bag (cheaper here than in the states) and 2) a barbershop 💈 so Glenn could get his hair cut.

    The umbrella street is lovely. Bugimbilla flowers. Lovely

    We found a second-rate shop, but it did the job to get the seamstress to sew up and reinforce the bag seams. $5.00

    NOTE: the two guys carrying a mattress. The owner refused to repair it!
