Traffic around the hotel


Traffic around the hotel

Traffic is always an issue when you live on an island. Even though most of the people in the country cant afford a car, you will take notice that most of the cars are brand new. These mostly belong to those that have relatives in the states or who work 6 months a year abroad and come home with cash to burn. The other thing about traffic here is that all traffic laws are suggestions not laws. The horn and the signal are key to surviving this. It is not uncommon for your driver to make a U-Turn from the far right lane and cut across 4 lanes of traffic. Road rage is not an issue here as this type of driving is expected.
