Dominikan Republic - Luperon Bay

This is a very friendly little township and wow its fun to do some shopping. We bought some fruit yesterday; a papaya, mangoes and

pineapple and all we paid was $ 1. We went to the bakery and bought some bread and some buns; a bun cost roughly 3 cents. We ordered a coke for 50 cents a bottle, I believe we can spend some time here without breaking our account too much. People are poor here and trying and offering everything to make a way of living. The first day we walked around, one lady showed us around town and helped us out and did cut Julia's hair. We paid her for her help.

During the day locals in their little dinghys are coming alongside our boat and offer to wash and polish our boat, they try to sell us fruit, vegies and fresh water. As I said before the way of living is so different here, but we kind of like it. This container down below is the customs office. First the customs came on board to check whether we had any weapons or drugs on board and we had to pay some money and donation to the navy. The next day we had to check into the country and in one container we had to pay $ 10 and in the container next to it we had to pay another $ 10, for what we do not really know ......
