Our trip was organized by Hover Tours. On monday morning a guy from there came to tell us what we could do and where we can go if we want to go shopping. His name was Edward and he was a bit surprised to see two white faces as he was expecting two grenadians. :))
He recommended us a jeep safari aroung the island and then either go to snorkling/scuba diving or to katamaran trip where there also was possibility for snorkling. We decided to take the jeep safari next day and the katamaran trip the day after tomorrow.
As we were interested to see the shopping opportunities Edward took us to Sambil shopping center which is located near Porlamar. It took us a bit over half hours to get there. Sambil is very big (but not huge) and you can find almost anything from there. The only thing we weren't able to find was a decent tourist/souvenier shop.
We ate lunch at Hard Rock Cafe (!) which had been there for few years. Apparently they had sold T-shirst with "Margarita Hard Rock" almost ten years before the restaurant even came to the island.
I have to say that the shops there were as expensive as in Finland. And these shops were supposed to be tax free! There were nice clothes there, but most of them were pretty small. Even Susan said that her normal size is not good there.
Before sun set we took taxi ride back to our hotel. The driver didn't know were our hotel were, neither did we... Luckily he just asked directions from few guys next to the road and we were able to get to the hotel.
At the hotel we were shown few new rooms, as we didn't want to sleep in the current room anymore. It was too moldy. We found a better room upstairs, but only with one bed. But as we are finns we didn't see it as a big problem. As long as we had a room where we could breath, we were okey.
