| 説明 | Take 4 cruise ships, add to one small island cruise port and this is what you get!I was reminded of a shot that I got several years ago:www.flickr.com/photos/nyalr/50610116662/It seems that the folks who design cruise terminals took a clue from Disney when it comes to funneling crowds! This area is set up so that you're directed to exactly the shops and restaurants that are "cruise line approved", totally bypassing the locals and their offerings.Lucky for Niccy and I that we figured this strategy out and devised our own plan of attack. Our plan is to stop and look where the main crowd is headed then avoid the herd mentality by taking a 90 degree turn at the first street (alley, etc) that pops up. This will eventually lead us either to the main exit or to a path that leads to the main exit, totally bypassing the hucksters out to sell you cheap trinkets and tax free diamonds and watches.Once we find the exit to the town we'll go out and look for someone who's local (not a taxi driver) and ask them if there's a pharmacy or grocery store nearby. Once we get some directions we'll head that way and get to see the parts of the country that 99% of the other folks will never see. Of course, if you use this strategy you've also got to trust your gut and only go if you're feeling safe about the journey and don't be afraid to turn around at any time.These tips have led us to some wonderful places with experiences that most will never have. Not many passengers can say they've bought fabric from a store in Antigua or ate goat curry at a roadside stall in Curacao but we certainly can. These are the trips we remember when we think of all the places we've been, the ones that followed the road less taken.PS, my standard disclaimer:For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used! |
