the (mostly foreign) crowds.

www.ourlucaya.com

costumes.

stream hits.
SHOPPING
The duty-free shopping fans head to the International Bazaar (

) and Port Lucaya
Marketplace (

) for their jewelry and perfume. It is worth bringing a price-com-
parison list from home when considering purchasing these goods.
The
straw markets
of the International Bazaar and Port Lucaya Marketplace hawk
straw purses, hats and placemats as well as batik items, Africana jewelry and painted
carvings. Most of it is made in China.
Some of the resort wear and batik prints are worth a look, too, but you will find that
prices can vary quite considerably between the Freeport and Port Lucaya markets, where it
is acceptable to haggle the prices down by about 10% to 15%.
Art & Crafts
African-style wooden carvings, driftwood art and bright, folksy oil paintings are all popular
take-home items. Be aware that most of the stuff sold in the local straw markets is more
likely to have been made overseas.
