That´s supplemented by the modern reception building (with some appealing Arctic art); 21 more…

Today, we start with our reports on the Dominican Republic at The World on Wheels. Our first order of business, getting a proper room for our special needs. This proves to take a little work but the staff of the Riu steps up and meets our concerns: http://tinyurl.com/88a6jo5
