Yesterday our guide mentioned that the
shops don’t open till 11:30am. So we have a
late start and use the morning to do some admin. We leave the building and Sanjay is waiting
outside for “Mr Jansen” so we agree to use him to drop us into town.
Town is busy. The horns never stop, but thankfully the
pushy sales people are not so bad here. And certainly not as bad as they were
In Delhi. We wander through the markets
and see saris, bracelets, saris, scarves, pashminas, bracelets, copperware,
scarves, saris etc. we try a few side
streets and see grocers selling veg off carts, home wares ( kitchen sinks, taps
etc.), random things we are still to identify and then saris, bracelets, saris, scarves, pashminas,
bracelets, copperware, scarves, saris etc.
we wander for a while just marvelling at the chaos of it all, and see
everything but some souvenier umbrellas that Wendy has seen on the edge of
town. We call Sanjay and he comes and
picks us up and takes us to exactly where she saw them yesterday.
Oh, we also went back to the hotel shops tonight and picked up Jase’s birthday pressie. 3 lovely wooden hand carved elephants that he has been eyeing off since he got here. They are truly truly awesome . . . .
