Well we managed to find one activity that has absolutely no mention in our Lonely Planet guide, so I guess most people wouldn't normally come all this way to go golfing...but we did! Today's agenda was all about the Sunday Market, but before that we managed to squeeze in a nice relaxing 18 holes on a beautiful par 3 course not too far away. The golf course is everything you would expect back home, but instead of ducks or geese on the field you have stray dogs!! They are basically just laying around in the shade and they keep their distance from people. All you need to know about the round is we didn't keep score, for good reason, and we headed home for a little siesta before hitting the market.
The Sunday walking market is an impressive shopping spectacle with several kilometers of downtown streets shutdown and lined, left, right, and center with merchants. We spent 3 hours walking up and down the streets trying not to buy all the really cool things that we have no place to put! They have everything you can imagine from hill tribe crafts to clothes and lots of food! We also saw fried crickets, worms and all sorts of other insects you can't imagine. They mustn't taste too bad because people eat it like it's popcorn...no popcorn for us!
In the end we didn't buy much but we have a big list for next time.
