Airport straw!
Airport straw! On my last journey around the Caribbean I had the opportunity to use the small airport of Punta Cana and I say small because, in my opinion, it was very small. Just land the plane and go down the basement stairs, walk and you get to the airport itself, where you enter they take a photo of you with Caribbean girls and then try to sell to you when you leave the country on your last day. The feeling is basically of heat and exhaustion, because the humidity is very high and as said earlier straw appears (the roof is thatched and has some ceiling fans). Although you have to bring a passport you prepare a sheet of paper on the plane with your personal data and pay the $10 entry, that's where they put the entry stamp.
You return again, fill out another paper and pay another $20, and they put the exit stamp in your passport. I must admit that this airport is so small that it has almost no shops, there were two: one with beloved Dominican products such as a bottle of Brugal rum (in any area of Punta Cana it costs $10 here they charge $21, so you see the difference twice!) and the other store sold international products such as very cheap snuff, perfumes, etc. There was also a store with food, another of Lacoste products, other pictures, and the $5 photo that was taken the day you came into the country.
