Part Deux

and....... i left off leaving the Brugal rum factory. Next stop was a old fort that was used to defend Puerta plata against..... everyone who tried i guess. I couldn't not tell you the exact time of construction or whom it was used to defend against either but it was cool to visit and to check out. There was a display case with old machete's and hammers. Also had a great view of the port which it was built to defend. On the way out we had gotten some funny pics with some dude and his donkey! My girl has those on her blog you'd have to look at them there. Leaving the fort our last stop was the city square and cathedral.








After a brief detour we ended up at the city square. It was really clean and really nice. There was surprisingly no one around. We walked around the square, hung out and took a few pics. That was probably the only place into to skate.... that i seen.







Well as good as any church can be this church was about as good as it can be (to me). It was nothing crazy out of the ordinary. Some of locals where in there doing there thing/praying, lighting candles and what not. it had some really nice stain glass window that where done somewhere in NY and shipped to DR. All and all really nice and a relaxing place to visit.






This tour took us all over Puerta Plata and showed us the side of the city that so few on vacation are willing or wanting to see. All and all this tour lasted about 9 hours or more and was def worth the $50 fee. I was more than happy with the tour and would recommend it to anyone. The guide Pedro was cool and knew his shit. Thanks Pedro!



The rest of the trip was spent chilln with homegirlon the beach just relaxing. Thursday night we did go to a resort/casino organized broadway type show. The show was jokes. The main dude in the show look like Count-Chocula (sorry no pics)! And a lot of them girls would give Beyonce a run for her money! After that we did a little gambling at the casino. The girl did ok on the slots and i procedded to drop money on the poker table i had no business at.

The trip was worth the wait and the money I'd do it all over again but not for a couple years.
