Day 8 — Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

  7/20/24 Saturday

Itinerary:

  • Room service for breakfast 
  • Blue Mall
  • Lunch at El Mercado
  • Water park
  • Dinner

We woke up early and ordered room service as we were tired of the same food selection and had a long line yesterday at the breakfast. We started getting ready while waiting for room service and they came 30 minutes later. So we were able to quickly eat our breakfast in our room and leave around 9:20am so that we can get on the shuttle to the Blue Mall. 

We waited in the lobby and the bellman signaled us to come when the bus arrived. We got in the bus and they went to another hotel to pick up 2 guests before heading to the Blue Mall. We arrived just a minute before the mall opened at 10am. We were at the East Entrance and saw the employee opened the gate. First shop we went was Zara and we were able to found some jeans that Madison likes. We also went to get a stamp at the store as we needed 3 stamps on a paper ticket in order to ride the shuttle back to our hotel. We didn’t have the paper, so the security at the mall gave us the paper ticket. Next Anthony went to the other 2 stores to get the stamp while we shopped at Zara. I thought the mall was big but it was actually not that big. There were not many stores that we are interested, so after shopping for 45 minutes, we just sat at the mall waiting for our shuttle to come in 2 hours to pick us up. We also grabbed some snacks at Taco Bell while waiting. They take actual credit cards and Apple Pay. Also do not take American Express. I had to call Anthony to pay as I didn’t carry any actual cards with me.

Around 11:50am, we walked back to the East Entrance where we were dropped off this morning to wait for the bus. There were many others waiting there and luckily they were on other buses as our bus wouldn’t be able to fit everyone. 

When we reached our hotel, we went straight for lunch and afterwards, we took a rest before heading to the water park for one last time as we are leaving tomorrow. We had lots of fun going down the water slides and lazy river.

After the water park, we went back to our room to take a shower before heading out for dinner.
