Had a little bit of a lie in today and as planned we went back to the zoo. With the sun beaming we went back to the zoo and got round all the bits we didn't manage to do yesterday. As it is set on hills and steep inclines, dave reckons we covered 10 miles, Claire says about 4.
Highlights included kaolas, feeding the monkeys, watching a meerkat sunbathe showing everything, watching a massive black and yellow spider in its web, which wasnt part of the zoo and throwing sticks at it to see if it moved, which it didn't. We legged it though. and of course, Dave's personal favourite, catching 2 emu's at it like rabbits!
In the evening we went to the Sunday night market and although it sold the same usual tourist tat it was by far the biggest snd busiest we've been too, stretching probably over 2 miles down the main street - it was the kind of busy, where you cant walk, just waddle like a penguin beind the 1000's of people in front and every now and then the person in front of you just suddenly stops, forcing you to suddenly halt and wait whilst they take all the time in the sodding world to look at something, before you get to carry on waddling - at this point you have to hold yourself back from punching them in the back of the head.
We didn't just have to waddle the strip once, we had to waddle it twice as Claire thought she had seen a waffle stand half way down. The only a reason Claire even wanted a waffle was because our earlier plan to eat at one of the Thai food stalls didn't go too well...Dave asked for a glass of fresh lemon juice, but was instead given a cup of what looked like brown dirty water - he soon found out that it wasn't lemon juice, we actually have no idea what it was and was soon thrown away. Claire decided to play it safe and went for beef noodles, really, what can go wrong with beef and noodles - a lot can go wrong when it's minced up meat that has been cooked in pure fish soup!
Fortunately they did have our fave, meat on a stick that's bbq'd there and then in front of you.
Being then put off Thai street food we waddled back up to the top of the strip and went to the trusty 7eleven (our spar) to buy a hot dog - again you can't go wrong with the clean and fresh food that 7eleven offers, well, not until you see a rat run across the floor and scurry under the fridges. Brilliant.
