Shops, a river and a bride

I only took photos of some of the shops that particularly jumped out, but I have been impressed by a lot of the shops. Even souvenir shops seem to be more crafted than other cities (not that went in and checked the 'Made in' stickers).

There was a shop full of beautifully decorated clocks, all of which looked unique. Many leather shops. A lovely little art shop (where I treated myself to a dip pen, and a beautiful stationery shop next door to it.
