Smooth experience to disembark and embark ship, and close to the town with shops, eateries, and local sites. The ease of port made the trip added to us enjoying our time in the capital, the Imperial City.

Oh...another super convenient thing... FREE WIFI! Yep, you heard that right. The port offers free wifi to all who visit! The access id and passwords are provided on the tourist information booth. In all, this was an incredibly tourist friendly location. The only suggestion (which of course goes against the culture we were visiting) would be to have more open on Sundays.

Once in the main part of town which is very walkable, there are many statues including Napoleon Bonaparte. There is a daily outside market that sells fresh produce and groceries but it is only open until 1pm so shop early. The traffic of vehicles will stop for pedestrians crossing the roads which is good because there seemed to be a lot of vehicles on their small roads. Because this is also an island, there are great breezes. The beaches were also close to the port area.
