After hiking the Vermont Trail and visiting the Parrot Breeding aviary in the botanical garden, I was hoping to find some kind of knickknack with a Vincie Parrot on it as a souvenir. This was on a Saturday afternoon and I had trouble finding minibuses to get around, wasted a lot of time waiting. The scenery was really nice as we drove from the Vermont Trail to town. I was lucky and got a front seat.
Upon arrival at the market, everyone had pretty much packed and gone home. They close early on a Saturday afternoon.
I grabbed a taxi to the wharf (where cruise ships dock) as someone told me they had souvenir shops there but unfortunately they were also closed.
There was nothing to do but get a taxi back to the hotel as I couldn’t even find a minibus by then! Lesson learned, find out what time the shops close in advance!
