We have some nice shops in the area - there was a planned shop hop that included 8 shops - what a great day. Every shop had a different feel and look. We travelled the route on a bus and then there was time for show and tell between shops. By the end of the everything was sooooo funny, and a must have. If you have the opportunity to do something like this by all means try it. After the hop - I now know of more shops that are in the area - ones that I had no idea that existed.
