Tropical Heights

It's quite difficult to get an elevated view of the coast in the tropics, the vegetation grows in profusion everywhere up to 3000m. (10000ft) elevation, this grassy hill, Montaña Redonda, rises relatively close to the coast, and for $27USD you can ride at the back of a pick up truck up the bone jarring jeep road to the summit. The view isn't as spectacular as Alpine lakes or Nordic fjords, but it's an unusual non-drone perspective of the Dominican coast. I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have, my wallet had fallen out of my shorts' pocket into god knows where on the way up, when I discovered that fact I almost had a stroke, but the merchants called the driver who drove me up and he found my wallet in the back of the truck, it ended well after all, but I was a nervous wreck until I was reunited with my wallet.
