“…pick up the number six bus from the Central Bus Terminal for a scenic ride along the southern coast to Stanley, one of the Island’s loveliest seaside villages. Yes, it’s crammed with tourists, but it’s worth the short trek; at the daily market you’ll find throngs of people haggling over faux Rolex watches, bootleg CDs, Doc Martens, Tin-Tin T-shirts. Stanley’s umbrella-covered crooked lanes are full of bargains.”

Note: The best seat is at the front of the bus, on the upper deck. From the left, you can see the Victoria harbour while cruising on the North side of the island. Once you cross the gap and are on the South side of the island, the view is better on the right hand side.
