The Jetty
Your first introduction to Neil. Hustling and bustling at ferry arrival and
departure times, full of fruit & vegetable sellers, coconut vendors and banana
stealing goats. Otherwise a lazy meandering place dotted with small shops
overlooking the crystal blue waters.
The Market
1 km from the jetty, the heartbeat of Neil, timid and intermittent in the
morning, full of life and determination after 3 pm. Here is where the action is
- from bananas to bright lit sweet stalls, from fresh veggies to fresh fish,
from cold drinks to barber shops...a place of simplicity and wonder.
