Depressing and dirty. We walked down the main tourist road and were pestered constantly by begging children and people trying to sell us drugs (legal and not).

After, we went shopping in ...
Our plan was to stay near the ship and look around at a few shops. They have a shuttle right by the ship that is $3 round trip to town. So we decided to take the shuttle.

This was our least favorite port. We took a tour to the Blow Hole, which was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary. If you have seen the one on Oahu, this one pales in comparison. There is a large flea market at the blow hole, which is great for buying souvenirs. ...
