If you survive the ride, you re rewarded with paradise.

Beyond the seawall, a cruise-ship dock allows passengers to step directly from the ship into the bustle hadaka 90 of the city. A noisy, jostling crowd cheerfully browses through crafts, T-shirts, and island-made products at the Old Market across from the dock. A New Market at the north end of Bay Front near the river is a swarm of brightly dressed vendors and buyers hovering over produce spread on mats under multicolored umbrellas. Permanent, covered stalls provide additional space, but the outdoor hadaka 90 sellers seem to attract the most buyers. Visit the markets on Friday or Saturday mornings for the best selection.
