Kramer995 Posted May 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2008 We are interested in touring Merida. Would you recommend getting a taxi/bus to Merida on our own, or book through cruise ship? We are going on the RCCL Voyager. Thanks! :-) Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted May 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2008 By all means on your own. Taxi $25 ea way. Local bus $3.00 RT. Merida is a fantastic spanish colonial city. Pretty sophisticated. Not at all like Cancun, Cozumel or boardertowns. While in Merida, take the carriage ride. $25 for a 50 minute tour out on Paseo Montejo. Upscale area with the prettiest Walmart I've ever seen. Take plenty of film or memory Lots of good photo ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer995 Posted May 15, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted May 15, 2008 It sounds wonderful! And since I live in NW Arkansas, home of Wal-mart, how could I skip that? :-) Thanks for the info!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawjaBoy Posted May 21, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey: I'm going to show my red-neck roots... Will you post some pictures of the WalMart? We are going in Octubre oops, October and the curiosity is killing me. I had a flash back to my aunt and uncle showing us pictures when they moved to Petersburg, Alaska. One of the pictures they showed us was of K-Mart. There was a gravel parking lot and the point of the photograph was the 18 bald eagles in the trees behind it!

TayCon32 Posted June 22, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Great tours of the city are offered in the local market at Progresso. Worth the money. Our guide was very good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdawson Posted June 23, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The Merida Walmart has an underground parking garage with escalator. The shopping cart wheels lock when you start down the escalator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
