Amber Cove- City tour Pix

[SWACK]

We were on the Glory over the holidays, and arrived at Amber Cove. We had a tour scheduled with MaryLou tours, but with the almost 2 hour delay in getting to the port and off the ship, by the time we got to the meeting point there was no one there.

 

We took a taxi tour of the city, and saw several of the highlights we were supposed to see on the other tour. This tour cost $30 each for 2 of us.

We first went up high to get a view of the city, and then along the Malecon, the road on the water.

Best part of the tour was the fort. They charged $3 for entry and a audio device. Not a big fort at all, but..

Nice photos! So you just went off the ship and caught a taxi and asked them for a city tour?

[SWACK]

Thanks.. Yes, just walked off and to the left, there were a string of cabs.. make sure you get pricing, items and an English speaker.

 

We were supposed to go to a "Amber Factory", was a local Jewelry shop.. but that's our only problem we had..

The final stop was downtown. Under a lot of construction, and although the square looks nice, I wouldn't feel comfortable walking alone outside the square..I think that ship tourists are a rarity around here..
