This is not really a shopping mall, but a large area taking in a few roads which are closed during the time this market/mall is open. It’s very much arranged for the tourists, and you don’t see locals at this market. What drew, Wendy, to this area was the Chocolate Factory which was clearly called out in our maps. When we arrived to see the Chocolate Factory we were quite surprised at the size of the market, and how far it spread.
However, the Chocolate Factory turned out to be no more than a chocolate shop, with a couple of chocolate animals as you walked into the shop, one being a kangaroo. We looked around the shop, and they had made some interesting sculptures with their chocolate, but nothing that enticed us to buy anything.
After a couple of circuits of the shop, and of course with Wendy in awe of the chocolate, we made our way outside to battle with the crowds again as we looked at the shops that were around this complex. We didn’t buy anything, because at this stage of our trip we have to either use or eat what we buy as we can’t really take much with us.
