Chose to remain on board as I wasn't really interested in the shore excursion offerings and was a bit tired of excursions by then. Others reported finding the town interesting and very different from other ports, but I was really just excursioned out. ...
A hidden gem. Got out in the countryside for a hike to tidal rapids. Again, if you want to see what this part of the world has to offer, walking and sea trips are only way to go. ...
