A quick cab ride through the rain and we were in the fishing village of Bayahibe and much warmer and more humid than where we&#8217;d left. We took it slow the first day, walking through town and towards the resort area on a well trodden but lightly maintained path through the forest by the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jlevinger\/49313619598\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49313619598_3d4620b4fc.jpg\" alt=\"Bayahibe Walk\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>Bayahibe Walk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-flickr wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jlevinger\/49313605048\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49313605048_3c90872d48.jpg\" alt=\"Bayahibe House\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>Beach House<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day we took a boat cruise to Saona island, which was recommended by the friend we are here to visit.
