Odette:
A day to remember.
We teamed up with our Brits (Pete and Kev) and took a taxi to the outdoor markets. We were asked several times if we sure we wanted to visit these markets and warned that wee may see things we might find offensive. Oh no! We can handle anything we said! We jumped out of the taxi straight into a blast of freezing air, a howling gale and smells we never want to remember. The weather got more and more furious and there wasn't really anywhere to shelter in our summer skirts so we continued to slosh through the running sewerage in our thongs.
After rows and rows of stalls selling the same jeans and Nikes for $5 we finally found cover at the meat and seafood area. There were all sorts of shellfish and other delicacies such as bolied dog's heads (teeth intact), live chickens, doves and worms and every part of every animal we could dream up. No waste here! Pete shocked us all by sampling a morsel of dogs head which he immediately spat out. Our concern is the 'chicken' we have been eating closely resembles the colour and texture of the dog. Mmmmm. After a hot shower and decontamination, Laurinda went to lunch with the boys and saw a martial arts presentation - while I rested. Quiet night in watching a movie. Still finalising plans for tomorrow.
