Sunday 8 December Shopping the duty free way

The Jackster's have been to the shops; chocolates (cool air conditioning and European brands tempted us to linger longer), boat bits (always) and wine shops where we discovered they are now selling spirits in 3L boxes. Wine OK, but gin, vodka and whiskey? The information on the side of this French product advised three litres is equivalent to 4 bottles or 24 glasses. That would be a very large measure! Possibly it's the same label they use for wine boxes. I hope so.
Plenty more shops for boat bits, hardware, lots of clothes shops and so many suitcases on wheels (presumably to carry all the chocolate and casks of gin).
There are good restaurants here too and a street market on Saturday night which presents a challenge for westerners not used to eating curries with their (right) hand while walking along. We cheated – finding both seats and spoons to help us.
