If you like BIG, then you'll love the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. With 1,783 rooms and suites, it's a city unto itself. It even has a trolley service to get you around. I won’t go into our stay here as it was a typical all-inclusive blow-out, with unlimited food and drink, evening entertainment and more than enough pool and beach time, we spend our three days doing pretty well nothing at all.

We spend a total of four nights at the hotel, leaving on Monday 14th. We have to be at Santo Domingo airport by 1:00 pm to drop off the car, so we are breakfasted and checked out by 9:00 am.

Taking a different route back on Highway 4 through the interior, we pass by the towns of Higüey, El Seibo and Hato Mayor, who’s most distinguished resident seems to be a gentleman by the name of Antonio Bastardo. The countryside is very attractive, lush farmland with a backdrop of green mountains. The road is excellent and we make good time, arriving just after 1. The car is dropped off with no problem (no duplicate billing, which had worried us a little) and our return flight leaves right on time. The flight is absolutely full, as all flights are these days. The higher the fares, it seems, more people travel. What a paradox.
