I went to Santo Domingo to study Spanish, so it wasn’t really a vacation, but it was so much fun, that it was! I walked ALOT! From where I stayed, I took a “carro publico” across the bridge and then walked 8 blocks to school. Then after school I would walk all over the Zona Colonial, and later walked the 8 blocks back to the street with the bridge.
Then, by the second week one of the students found a gimnasio 2 blocks from the school and they only charged about $10 for a week membership. I went there 3 times, and hour each time, they had a nice elliptical machine, treadmill and stationery bikes (other stuff too that I didn’t use) and I joined in on a kick boxing class for a little while. Some girls and I even went to a resort for one night and there was a “fitness room”, actually it was not good and not air conditioned, but I worked out a little. The resort was nice and probably just bcs it’s so new, they haven’t done much w/ the workout room yet.
