It takes a few hours to walk around and is geared up to tourists with jewellery stalls, clothes, hats, food areas, paintings, watches, environmental products etc. There were also stalls with musicians playing (busking) as well as one in the food area. Ginger beer is made locally and there were a number of stalls selling this.
