A late start and then we head to
a local market after lunch. Once we find the actual market, it is mad. The
local people are everywhere.
There is way too much fabric, clothing, jewelry, footwear etc. but we struggle through.
Jase happens upon some art shops and once again comes away with the purchase of the day. A lovely long face Ganesh (hand done, oil on canvas) for a mere $20. See below for a crude pic . . .some sides cropped out.
We will probably head back as there were a few more items we liked, but we want to do some research on shipping costs first.
A quick Tuk Tuk ride home where Jase made the mistake of giving a beggar (mother with child) at the lights some money. Jase had a weak moment and regretted it . . . he was so strong until then!!
The female must have spread the word, because all of a sudden they appear thick and fast. Snotty nosed kids, mothers carrying babies, lining up and tapping the sides of the Tuk Tuk . . .arms inside etc .. . We say no and sit and pray for the lights to go green. Jase won’t be letting his guard down again . . .
Only one pic today. Too many people around to even get into our bags, let alone try to get a happy snap, and fun as it was, it kind of looked like a lot of other markets we have been to over the last few weeks.
We are both still carrying a cold, and starting to get a little tired. But the day was still a success.
Similar the next day . . . more exploring and adventures . . ..
