This doesn't give point to point directions, but you are able to get some online street maps.

Vouvoune,
Welcome to DR1. As you will be in SD let me say that we have a number of members that live in SD and if you ask I am almost assured that at least one of them would be more then willing to spend some time and help you learn the public transportation system once you have determined where you will be staying. Public transportation would be much safer then renting and driving a moped or motorcycle and a lot cheaper. Stay in touch with the board for any additional help you may need.

Thanks for all the help...I will be taking SPanish classes in the morning and want to head to the beach in the afternoon. What is the best way to do that within budget?
Yet another question

Is there a second hand store in the zona colonial? I need a cheap fan...

The nearest beach is 30-45 minutes away. If you take a taxi it will cost about $30US each way. Mass transportation would be much less expensive, but I would not recommend it until you get familiar with the area. Depending on where you are in the Capital you may need to take more than one guagua(sic).

My suggestion is to stay in the Capital during the week and head to the beach on the weekends.

If you're in the Capital and looking to go someplace in the afternoon and swim, there are a couple of waterparks located in the city. Not sure of the names and locations. I'm sure some members here can provide the details.

That is a great idea! I would love to know where they are located! thanks! V
