Creator's Key Takeaways

If you've done those things, I highly recommend just staying at this lovely seaside kind of touristic area.

It was a very calm, happy day. It was such a nice day and so convenient from the ship just dropping you off.

The struggle to get back on the ship... it was a mess.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you don't rely on your card as some places are cash only.
If you've done the major things in the area, consider staying at the seaside touristic area for a calmer experience.
