We didn’t have any tours planned for today. We walked down the Le Troupe Mall (three blocks long and 5 stories high) and had lunch in the food court. It’s an overwhelming retail experience! After walking around the high-end shops, we headed over to the Queen Victoria open air market. This was extensive yet better suited to our expectations. The market is named after the intersection of the streets and not on the actual Queen. The market has been open 7 days a week since the 1870s. After wandering around for a while, Leslie bought a watch she saw that reminded her of an old watch she had and some Christmas gifts for the family. We then found a funky little neighborhood bar nearby called The Last Chance for a refreshment before the long walk back to our hotel. Later we had dinner at a street café and watched the Saturday night crowd walk by.
