Creator's Key Takeaways
we were lucky to have a last minute overnight stay at this port which presented obvious opportunities but also some surprising challenges too
the DIY option was best for us with the car rental it opened up possibilities otherwise Clos to us and we could go at our own pace
we got the full insurance offered by the rental company which is our general policy when renting a car overseas
there's no ride share here so you'll need some kind of official Cab Company number to get around after hours
