The final day was all about shopping! We headed together with another 2 couple to the Carrara markets. The taxi ride costed us AUD 9 per couple. The Carrara markets had all local goods for sale. One interesting stall that I particularly like was selling all kinds of buttons and laces. I have never seen so many different kinds of buttons, laces, ribbons and even different types of iron on stickers, in one single place in my whole entire life. The stall, ran by an elderly couple, occupied a space as big as a badminton court. They had so many goods with them, all so pretty and nice. Other stalls were also selling goods at bargained prices. Very good place to shop for things.
Later, we took a bus ride to the Pacific Fair. The bus ride costed us AUD1 per person. Pacific Fair was like any other shopping mall, so we spent about an hour only before we decided to head back to Harbour Town to do more shopping!
From Pacific Fair , we took a bus no. 738 , which costed us another AUD6.40 for 2 persons. Well, unknowingly to us, Harbour Town is the last stop for this bus, so we spent 1 hour of traveling in the bus :( Maybe we could have hopped on a different bus next time ….
Once in Harbour Town, it was more shopping!!
When we finally exhaust ourselves physically and financially, we took a bus no. 709 back to our hotel in Surfers. It costed us another AUD 6.40 for 2 persons. We reached the hotel just half an hour earlier before the coach came to transfer us to the airport. Ah, what a day!
