That must have been so terrifying Dani! Jess, you are a super hero. That was so brave of you to run after him. I bet he was well scared. I really feel for you though. A guy on a moped tried to rip my handbag off me in Phnom Penh once, but as I held onto it with my hands as well he only got the strap. He actually fell of his moto and wasn’t looking so brave anymore when he realized that I just realized he tried to steal my bag (and worse damaged it), and even more so when he saw an angry and drunk English man next to me. He was gone before we could go after him, but it too left me shaken a little bit.

Ever since I read the book ‘Darwin slept here’, in which the author followed into the footsteps of Charles Darwin’s journey around the Eagle Channel, I wanted to visit this place. The scenery looks spectacular! I’d love to do some exploring of the surrounding area.

Thanks for bringing this subject up again. It’s the main downside while traveling in places where you’re unfamiliar. I also have the attempted robbery story, and also should have known better. It seems like there is a common thread to most stories. It’s after dark and there’s nobody around except you. As it doesn’t happen frequently, we tend to become complacent. That gut feeling is the reminder that you’re doing something that you shouldn’t be doing.

It’s been many years (25) since the robbery attempt in Guatemala when I was stabbed. But, many times since then when it’s dark and I’m alone, I get that sinking feeling that I’m being stalked. I get it, but I still need reminding. That’s my guts’ job.

It looks like it’s worth visiting for the spectacular scenery along! And those seals!! It’s a shame the hotels are so expensive, but I guess it’s good for the local economy (if there must be a bright side).

Oh, I don’t even want to know what’s going on there – I can only imagine that it’s similar to Thailand!! I hope you’re still having a great time in the DR!
