Taxi to the Airport

Aside from the varying prices for tourists versus locals are the state of the taxis. Here is mine with a broken window that smells like a combination of feet and cheese. Also nice is the lack of a meter and the need to negotiate before you go anywhere. While it is a flat fee from the hotel. I started with 40 and got him down to 30 with the help of my client who told him in Spanish "Look, do you think I am a moron? Stop being a idiot - I know it is no more than 30". He reluctantly agreed and I was on my way on the silent 30 minute ride to the airport. Oh, how I will miss my Dominican friends - but not to worry, I will be back.....
