Another day
We’ve had a mixture of weather, with some rain most days but also quite a lot of sunshine. Yesterday was glorious, so we set off to find the gypsy market in Lagos, the next town. The gypsy market only takes place on the first Saturday morning of the month, so I was eager not to miss it.
We caught the bus from just outside the gates of the complex where we’re staying, and it took us meandering through tiny villages until we reached the esplanade at Lagos. Since everyone else was alighting there, we thought we’d be best to follow suit. Then we just tagged along behind the nearest group of walkers and fetched up at the market.
It was like all markets worldwide, so we bought a few items to take home with us and spent the rest of our day wandering along the esplanade, looking at the marina, drinking coffee, and treating ourselves to the most fabulous doughnuts from a street vendor. When we’d eaten, drunk and looked our fill, we caught the bus back.
The bus cost just three euros each for the return journey and was very comfortable. Plenty of room for Ed’s legs (he’s tall) and air-conditioned. We had a great day, and sunshine throughout.
Today is very showery, so we’ll probably go out for a walk later on. Meanwhile, I’ve had my swim (and jacuzzi, naturally) and Ed is busy reading.
I quite like this life.
