There was a tabacco shop at the end of the long pier, so wife and I went that far. When we entered the shop, we were glared at and sullenly sold a few boxes of cigars. After paying the bucks, we did a 180 and headed back to the ship.
People who went on a tour to the falls there told of the guides "helping" people up by grabbing their hands - and trying to lift their rings or wrist watches. Another guy told of how the locals tried to separate their 13-year-old daughter from them in a crowded area. The finale was when a cab dropped off a guy who was so badly beaten his face was a purple mess. He had taken a cab "tour", taken to an isolated area and robbed.
