late night last night , then about three hours sleep as we are still jety lagged, and wide awake before our 5.30 a.m. alarm call. breakfast and before we left I had an appointment with the tailor at 6.45 a.m.,

Into the bus and of for the Floating Market, about 60 miles away, stopping off to see them making cocanut sugar at one of their tourist traps, quick cuppa, and then on past the salt pans, where they make thousands of tons of salt a year but still have to import some.

made it to the floating market and into a longboat for a very hairy trip round the canals, his engine was knackered and going round bends nearly put us all in the water, but we survived. Then we had an hour and a half to run the gauntlet of the vendors, but the place is totally amazing , we had snacks from the boats, a good laugh, but it was hot.

Ned to stop , tailor waiting
