We woke up at 11am today and missed breakfast. We decided to stay in bed and lounge. We watched some tv before getting showered and ready. It was 2pm now and we decided we would go to the food court I had found yesterday before heading downtown for sightseeing.
We walked over slowly, the weather was not as warm and it was cloudy. When we got to the mall we ended up eating Mexican, which was quite good.
We then got on the metro and headed downtown. We got off next to one of the churches before heading towards the market. The streets we walked down were dirty, crowded and most of the shops sold cheap crap.
We eventually found the market, which was full of food stalls. We had entered at the fruit section and Shivani found her favourite fruit, so we bought one and ate it. They also had juice stands so we bought an acai berry juice. This was supposed to be very good for you and it tasted nice too. The fruit stands were full of exotic fruits and there seemed to be quite a few tourists round trying them all.
We moved on through the market and saw other stalls selling meats, nuts, cheeses and finally fish. The products looked good and there were also a few stalls selling food that looked nice too.
After we finished walking around we went went outside and headed to the financial district. That had a few tall buildings here and also the stock exchange. We then walked over to the main square which had a big church on it. This one was quite grand and we went and sat inside for a while.
We then moved on through one of the pedestrianised shopping streets to the other main square which was a park. We had now seen most of downtown so headed to the metro and took it back to the hotel. We decided we would relax a bit before heading to dinner.
We wanted to go to DOM which was supposed to be really good but it was closed so we ended up going to an Italian that had rave reviews saying it did the best pizza. We took a taxi over there and found a really busy restaurant. We got a table and picked our pizzas and wine. The food came out quite quickly and both our pizzas were good and better than the really cheesy ones we had been having recently.
After finishing the pizza we slowly drank our wine before getting a taxi back to the hotel. We then watched a bit of tv before going to bed.
