A warmer night; being
at a lower altitude helps and for once Jamie didn't shout too early
so a lazy start to the day.
Then the electricity
went off, which is a nuisance because we really wanted it for the
fridge. However it seems the whole town is off so that's that. It
came back on early afternoon.
Plan today was a walk
to the market which takes place on Saturday and Sunday, despite the
guardian saying it was just Sunday. Rather than a souk, all collected
into one small area, this market extends both sides down a dead end
road for about 500m and as always sells most things including the
inevitable tat. The fruit and veg is usually worthwhile and we bought
some replacements for our dwindling supplies before strolling back to
the van. On the way we called in at the local “supermarket” -
think Open All Hours – for items not found in the market.
Light lunch then a sit
in the sun for a while but had to retire to the van when it got a bit
too hot. Back out later though for a chin-wag. A small group of Dutch
came onto the site to join the 2 French that arrived this morning. A
tour minibus pulled in, obviously for lunch at the small restaurant,
but when they came to leave it wouldn't start. The driver has spent
the afternoon trying to get it fixed but as of now, he seems to have
given up. As it's quite a modern Fiat Ducato similar to Bertie I
could offer my diagnostic reader but I don't think he'd understand
the results.
As I write the sun is
going down and the Imams have just started calling – sound like an
air raid siren! We've decided to go out to eat tonight; will report
tomorrow.
