I'd stay faaaar away from the flee markets, they're annoying as fuck. Pretty much it's a section of close stores where nothing has a price on it, so they watch and anything you pick up, they'll come over and tell you an outrageous price and when you say no, they'll keep coming down, but then as you leave the store people from the next store are waiting outside their door to persuade you to bring you into theirs.
My wife, at the time, went into this one store and picked out a cheap bracelet and the guy said to pick out a couple more and he'll give a "great deal". He put them on his little scale and punched up some number on his calculator and said "$160" !! My wife and I looked at eachother and almost fell over. We said no, so he came down to $120, then $100, then $90, then $60, then $40, we kept saying "no" and finally he said $20 and we accepted, ha ha.
The tours are fun, I wish we would've done more, we didn't do any till the day before we left, we did the ruins of Telum and then Xel-Ha water park and it was a good time. If you drink, the "Booze Cruise" was fun. They put you on a boat, wait on you hand and foot, giving you drinks, bring you to an island, then feed and entertain you while you drink more, ha ha, then they load you back on the boat and bring you back.
One thing I gotta say though is SUNTAN LOTION ! I'm not used to being around the ocean, but just going to the beach for a little bit, I figured I didn't wanna get all lotioned up, so I didn't and got pretty burnt in minimal time, ha ha.
