Sosua Reports

[Triple Darknes]

Yesterday I found out that Metro Bus runs only ONE (out of its usual 6-7) daily service, that too, on weekdays only, from Sosua to St. Domingo, passing through Santiago. This one is at 8.20 in the morning. I did not then go on, to check with Caribe Tours about their schedule but I would imagine, they may have slashed their schedule as well. This is another contributing factor, I would think, in exacerbating the arrival of chicks at Sosua, from further south and may explain the paucity of acceptable talent I saw around.

Uber too is pretty spotty. Most times, the app said, that there were no drivers or it was a long wait. The motoconchos are around of course. I also heard anecdotally that it is the driver plus 4 passengers in the carritos plying around these days.

Uber shuts down about an hour before lockdown. I got stuck while getting into one. They shut it down and I had to grab a Motorcycle willing to take a chance. We were stopped at a roadblock but they let us pass. It looked like they were going to tow cars they had a Tow truck at the roadblock.

Just a reminder that the water in Cabarete is not for swimming:

Wauu! Good for surf! Are there surfing spots?

Given that the bus services are sketchy, as is Uber in Sosua, I asked the gentleman from Santiago to come and pick me up. In two hours time, we were at STI, doing the mountain road which is really slow.

Fairly low volume of flying people on the way back. The building entry is monitored by a temperature sensor as I could see it this time, placed at the entry and rather discreet. There was a lady in nurse's scrubs at the back as well.

Uneventful flight. I tried to sneak in a few mangoes but darn, those CBP people and the USDA. Broke my heart to see them throw such scrumptious stuff in a garbage bin.

Stay safe, you all in Sosua and those that are raring to go. Unfortunately, the curfew at 5/7 PM did not go down well with me.

Why were you wanting to pay cash instead of a linked to the app CC with no foreign fee?

Is Cabify in the DR? I used it in Bogota.

I like cash whenever I can. The spooks of google and other automatons would not be able to add more to my profile than they need to. Call me a paranoid but then I know tech.

Cabify? Never heard of it, anywhere I have been to, let alone in the DR.

Went for lunch there. Called an Uber, the rate shown was 225 pesos. When I went to pay, cash, the guys says: 10 dollars. What? The fellow says, he was trying to keep it simple, dollars for Americans. I told him, many are suckers without elementary math skill or because they are drunk but that I am going to file a complaint for asking 3 times.

Attaching some photos at the restaurant!

The weekend lock down starts at 5 PM and sucks even more. I just saw some cops on their motorcycles, presumably enforcing.

A Puerto Plata blanquita brought her prima to get to know me this morning. It is curious. The other girl is quite a morena with skinny body, nice tits on a small frame and a beautiful smile. They had beer, chips and ice cream and then the blanquita was doing the dishes and wiping the floor while the other one kept me busy. They left, after about two hours which was lunch time.

Had another one rush in around 3. 30 knowing that the clock stops at 5. 00 PM.

DR1 site has some scary news story about rising infection and death; I am sure the incoming flights are not helping as essentially US is the only country still sending people over and the infection here tracks, you know which one. Remains to be seen how long this window remains open.

Speaking of Weissbier, a picture from today. To my dismay, the food was not good including the sauteed potato. The good news was it was only 340 tax included. The beer was way better but 260 pesos. Ah well!

High protein food LOL.

Weissbier beer my favorite!

[Tempoecorto]

The beer is on me. I'm hoping to go to Sosua in September.

But even with the restrictions, my life here is far better and I'll be happy to come back as soon as I can.

I have to say that in New England, life is not bad. I am free to go wherever I wish to and at whatever time. We all do our part in ensuring safety of others by not politicizing masks like the asses in the South and at this moment, our situation COVID wise is the best in the country. If we had all done our parts right, the country would be back to normal. Both school opening and business wise.

I like to go out for a stroll here too after dark, often there is a pleasant breeze but after the new clampdown, I cannot leave after 7 PM which sucks big time.

Safe travels to Canada!

The second day of the second curfew.

Thanks for the update!

[Oakie]

The second day of the second curfew.

More struggling Sosua businesses will be going broke if they keep this new SOE curfew for the full 45 days, but Dominicans are resilient and used to hardship.

I have to go back to TO to take care of passport, licence, health card status and tax stuff, and I'll be in quarantine for the first 14 days there. Can't leave the apartment, go for a beer, or shopping. No daily walk, or dip in a pool. Just me and a TV. Not exactly healthy.

But even with the restrictions, my life here is far better and I'll be happy to come back as soon as I can.

Having stayed at Ahnvee I can offer insights. Never stayed but visited Blackbeards.

Ahnvee was a all inclusive upscale resort without resident girls for a while. For some reason fell out of favor and upkeep and maintenance declined. All the same found some life when the mayor closed down Main Street clubs. Layout is large with many apartment style units. If you do go there check out the room they give you to make sure air con, shower, toilet works. Also they have a small safe deposit box with a key not digital. Unit comes with a entry hall with kitchen area with no stove but there is a fridge. A living room with sofa and table. Then you enter a shower toilet area and beyond that is the bedroom with nice king bed. Once again check everything to make sure it is to your satisfaction otherwise ask them to show another unit. Make sure you get hot water in the shower. Do not accept any excuses. You are paying and likewise you should be comfortable.

Do not know the situation now. My travel last was before COVID. At that time room included free breakfast. In the evening there is a pool area and bar where lots girls hang out. You can take any girl to the after after negotiation and security check cedula. Later after 9 pm their disco opens in another building. Lots more girls are up for fun. If you rent a car like I do there is plenty of room for parking. Last time I met the owner / manager who was nice. He told me he is going to make the resort modern whatever that means.

Blackbeard's is essentially a brothel with in house girls on fixed rate. No game playing necessary. I heard rooms are nice. I went for the pool party there and they had good food. Some nice looking girls. Blackbeard is tucked in a kind of remote area and to anywhere you need transportation. There is a beach there close by. Blackbeard do arrange for tours and such.

Tier for girl services are one time or all night services. You need to negotiate special services directly with the girl. If you do not fancy any of the girls they will have a special call out girls. If you do not Like any of the uncertainties in chase and catch fun you will like Blackbeard's.

Thanks Sammon for that valuable info. Its a shame that the place is in such disrepair because of the great potential. Too much of a risk.
