Dominican Republic – fruit, raison and rum heaven

I’ve arrived in Santiago, in the northwest of the Dominican Republic. So far, it seems much more developed than I expected – I was met by Blanco, who works for the banana cooperative, and we travelled across the country on motorways and dual carriageways – something we haven’t yet done in Venezuela or Colombia. By our recent standards, the hotel is great – I’ve just had a complimentary rum punch and I’m eating pineapple, watermelon and melon with freshly squeezed lime and raisons on top. Yummy.
