shopping

[cruisin73]

Where is the best place for shopping in Aruba?  By the port or is there another place we should go? We are looking for souvenirs and little boutique stores.

All up and down LG Smith Blvd outside the cruise port gates there are many shops and boutiques.  Renaissance Mall is also down that street.  Around Eagle/Palm Beach there's the Paseo Herencia Shopping area.

One of the grocery stores.  Superfood in Eagle Beach or Ling & Sons a bit closer to the cruise terminal.  Taxi drivers know where these 2 stores are.

We purchased gouda cheese several years ago from one of these two stores, but we took a bus.  

Unfortunately, DH must have been frightened by a taxi at a young age, and thinks they are all out to "gyp" him (former New Yorker).  Do you know if a bus goes by one of these two stores, and the bus number.  Or a ballpark figure for the taxi?
