Frank had kindly offered to fill in some of the gaps in our charts. We were invited on board his boat Raffles Light. An amazing ship something that you don’t see every day. Getting the chartlets transferred over to us with the limitations of the internet proved problematic but solved eventually.
 
Next day after doing a few jobs it was off to Santo Domingo. The main area of interest is called the Colonial area and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Quite compact but impressive. We wandered through the bus station passing through China Town on the way. On the way we got dragged into a barbers for a shave next we were having our finger and toes touched up. Norm had a facial but kept making excuses for not having his ear pierced. The bus ride was in some contrast to the taxi ride in.
