More mall shots


A couple from our apartment took us out to this newly opened mall called Villagio. Man what a place. It is designed around a waterway that is made to resemble a Venetian village - complete with gondolas that you are able to hire for a wee excursion! The facades of the upper stories of the shops also looked like a village street scene. The ceiling has a cloud theme! Quite impressive.
All the big name shops and the very expensive shops are here. Brian called into the Virgin Megastore but was less than impressed - saying it was 'rubbish' - and "very thinly stocked".


Not many people here at this end - the very exclusive end. We were also early - the place opened at 10.00am until 1.00pm - because of Ramadan. They open again around 7.00pm.
Ramadan has now finished so we are able to eat out during the day.
