Shopping in Sir Selwyn Clarke (SSC) Market in Victoria is an exciting thing to do. The market may be small by African standards but tourists can pick up wooden furniture, spices, jewelry, and more. However, one should note it down that the market remains closed on Saturday afternoon and every Sunday.
