| Curacao is a great place to load up on
international buys because prices are reasonable in the absence of a sales tax and low
import duty on goods. You' find good prices on such items as watches and perfumes, cameras
and Italian silks. Stock up on Edam and Gouda cheese. Be sure to visit the Punda, a
five-block shopping district. Because of its more than 200 stores, the island is a stop
for cruise ships. It is recommended you do your shopping in the morning to beat the
crowds. Some of the places you'll want to visit: Bert Knubben Black Koral Art Studio - 599/9-652122 - Black coral jewelry and art made by one of the world's best black coral craftsmen.
