boat ride along the coast-line. I know, bit strange we were on another ship, but it was nice to get close to the numerous bays. Then went on a short bus ride for pictures; don’t understand why they spent 20 mins looking a large hotels? As usual there is always one couple that consistently is the last on the bus. Self-same couple insisted that the tour was already running late, a stop had to be made at the church. By the time they came back to the bus it was 15 mins before ship’s departure when we arrived at the dock. Not enough golf carts to take back those requiring assistance, so we were literally the last on the boat; Officer reassured us that [because we are on a hip's excursion] they knew we hadn’t returned and were waiting for us.

As we aren’t interested in historical buildings or visiting a volcano, I visite a nice little shopping area where local craftsman sell their wares. Enjoyed looking at the brightly colored fabrics and bought a few souvenirs. The vendors were very friendly, and helpful. One even located the item I wanted in another shop. Did not use the available restaurant or bar.

Where we were docked it was a long walk to the head of the pier to catch the tour busses or go into town I walked to the town took some pictures, and stopped at some tents set up at the end of the pier to buy a brightly colored plate. Town appeared to be very poor, narrow alleyways so stayed away from shops. Beach/hotel area a good four-five miles away requiring bus, taxi or excursion.
