Detailed itinerary
1

2
Stop 2
A great location for an outdoor market and some really interesting stalls. The arts and crafts ones were really good but the food stalls were just the best. What was disappointing was that we had just had lunch before walking down here and some of the hot food stalls smelled delicious. Next time I come here, I starve myself for the day.
