Day 11 - It's astonishing how many people don't have mirrors in their rooms!

No need for alarms here, the music from the restaurant/bar cranked up just after 8am. We had already been waken up by a 5am text - yes we know it was 10.30am in Melbourne and we should have turned off the
message reminder sound... but too late!

Hopped in a taxi for the famed Anjuna Wednesday flea market, like all markets incredibly repetitive, how does everyone get a sale when they are selling the same stuff? And like Indian markets very pushy, however managed to spend a little money. M did well to play the annoyed husband part when K was haggling, but was he acting?? Beautiful view from the beach though, once we'd passed all the market stalls.


Walking along the beach from near our hotel, we found that the beach is covered in shacks that serve you food and drink very cheaply either at table and chairs or on the sun lounges. The beach was not only covered in these huts but also with people who should never, ever, ever, ever wear bikinis or speedos - it's not fair on the rest of us. We were really suprised with all the retired English whales (oops typo, people). We had a lovely walk the length of the beach, it was very hot but ok in the shallows, stopping for cheap G&T's (Pepsis for M though) along the way.
