The shop, at the popular tourist site, burnt down on Friday after a violent storm swept through the area. 

General manager, Tristan Dickerson, says they believe that lightning had struck the shop - causing a massive fire.

"I got a call to say there was a fire - on arrival it was our curio shop engulfed in flames. We were closed at the time so no one was in that building," he says.

No was hurt in the blaze. Dickerson says they have had to change the entrance point but they're open for business.

"We are all back up and running as normal. We have just made adjustments around the business. We are up and running - nothing has changed," he says.
