For the breakfast, surprise-surprise, there are eggs again (this time with slices of fried sausage), fruit and the same stale bread from Christmas. We decide not to visit any further beaches today either and stay in front of our shed to read a book and watch the waves. Highest waves so far, obviously we picked a good day to leave the island.
At Paradise Restaurant, we order rice again (this time it's red rice with pieces of pork) and macaroni salad. Plates with the already mentioned rice, salad and well, a banana arrive on the table. Because "that plate felt so empty because you didn't want meat." In Scott's opinion, there is not enough macaroni salad and we ask for more. It turned out that we have cleaned the kitchen out and they don't have anymore of the salad. They promised that they would make a new batch for the dinner...
We pack our things and walk to the "port". The boat was supposed to leave at 2:30 pm, but at 2:40 pm the captain was still napping in his boat without any worry in the world. Around 2:45pm, everyone is on board and about 45 minutes later we land in Bayahibe. A few minutes before arriving, an upside-down hat appears in front of me, and behind it is the smiling and expectant face of the boatman. Some fellow travellers are tipping him. We take a bus to La Romana and arrive at our hotel by five o'clock. A shower has never felt so good.
We wash up and walk to the beach to watch the sunset and have something to eat.

We order garlic prawns with French fries and grilled octopus with plantain chips from the English menu. A plate with shrimps, fries, two plates with avocado and finally octopus in red sauce with plantain arrive. We try to explain that this octopus is not grilled by any stretch, but they keep insisting that it is. Finally, I think to ask if it is "a la plancha" for sure. It turns out that it was never supposed to be grilled, because the menu designer had no idea that grilled doesn't mean tomato sauce, but grilled. An "avocado salad" is also added to the bill.
- But we didn't order it, did we?
- But you did eat it.
- Because we thought it was a side.
- It is only 100 pesos (approx. 1.4 EUR).
I can't tell her in Spanish that I also ordered grilled octopus for 700 pesos, which I didn't get... Anyway, we're not paying for that avocado salad.
