We always check the cruise ship schedule before heading into P'Burg, know where we want to shop, and just ignore the hawkers. Been there twice on this trip and found it rather quiet; the first time hubby announced he no longer likes the beach there so that cut our time down. The second time was even shorter than the first, due to the fact I couldn't get any money out of an ATM machine. Two attempts resulted in zilch being dispensed and the third attempt resulted in a message that I had exceeded my daily limit. I wasn't very happy and any thought of shopping went out the window. Got back and called my friendly bank, collect, and got things sorted out. That's P'Burg for this year!
