greenmarket square

• 17 comments •


Located on a cobblestone road, between Short and Long Market Street, is Greenmarket Square. Apparently, this place used to be a trading spot for passing ships. It is now an excellent place to buy nick-knacks (after some bartering). The area is surrounded by several restaurants and cafes so that you can relax after a day of bargaining.


{ We ate at The Famous Butcher's Grill. Ostrich tastes just like beef.}


{ We had our first glimpse of the African "wildlife".}


{... and we met some very interesting characters.}

  15. Gorgeous photos!

    I have such good memories there... well apart from Mr B bargaining so so hard at every stall! I'm sure that one stall holder must not have even made a rand in profit after Mr B was done with him !!
