Shopping
This charming collection of hippy type stores has tchotchkes, jewelry, crafts, candy, toys, clothing, and sometimes even a cafe. Best of all it is situated in magnificent gardens and has Emus, chickens, and other livestock that can entertain kids. The whole place is kid paradise actually, and it was my fallback activity on every crummy day when beach etc was not an option. Utterly enchanting for young and old.
