Samana

Samana is a little city (ca 91 000 inhabitants) on the coastline of a large bay in the north. The city itself is typically Domenican (for my eyes). We found a cheap, but very nice hotel for 600 RD$ (= BF 500) a room. They even served us coffee in the ñorning !
My travel companion has a habit of eating only lunch, so for a few days now, we´ve been eating our first meal long after dark...

In Samana, the governement often cuts down the electricity to punish te locals for not paying. So all the Europeans and the richer locals have aggregates. When we woke up monday morning, the first thing I noticed was that it was very quiet because the power was back on and no noisy engines had to provide electricity.
