A stop for craft & luxury...

📍 Le Port Ship Model Factory and Showroom
📍 Riverwalk Cashmere

Very close to the crater, within the town, were two popular high-end shopping stops, located just five to ten minutes apart from each other.

The first stop was the workshop that felt like a living museum. We watched skilled artisans carefully crafting detailed ship replicas out of teak wood, showcasing remarkable precision and patience. The adjoining showroom displayed a wide range of models - from small decorative pieces to large, finely craft replicas. There was also a shop where visitors could buy these models, along with other maritime-themed souvenirs.

The second stop was boutique factory store known for its genuine cashmere products. Along with the cashmere garments, the store also featured some local liquor and few other local items available for purchase.

We spent about ten minutes at each spot, mostly exploring and observing, without making any purchase. These stops marked the end of our tour for the day at around 3:15 p.m., after which we began our journey back to the hotel.Read more
