Is there a shop in Oranjestad that is better than the rest. I mean, they have a bigger selection and better quality merchandise with better prices? I really want to take home a bunch of souvenirs for my family since they won't be able to come with me for the trip.
I don't know that I have a favorite souvenir shop in Oranjestad. There are so many. The great thing about Aruba is they strongly believe in the barter system. You may already feel like you are getting something for a steal but if you don't try to haggle with the clerk they will most likely be offended.
I want to go and haggle with prices! I love to do this so it sounds right up my alley. I'm sure there are some nicer shops and some that are just junky. I can't wait to go to them all!
