This morning started when I went for breakfast and on my return I found George, Rob and Kimberley (a friend of theirs) having breakfast at my hotel. We spent an hour chatting and catching up then caught a taxi to a market. It was easily the largest market I have ever been to, it stretched for miles, just to walk the length of it would've taken quarter of an hour, after just 10 minutes George and I had already lost Rob and Kimberley and only met with them again 5 hours later. The market was a total warren which made it impossible to navigate around, a couple of times we found ourselves in the same alleys as before. If you did happen to know your way around it would've been possible to buy everything you ever dreamed of and more, literally all things were there; from Beatles memorabilia, to puppies, silk underwear, wicker picnic baskets, baseball caps made of drinks cans, drain pipes and there was even a couple of florists that sold only plastic flowers... George and I caught the Metro home, although the station we were told to get off at was an hours walk from where we were staying meaning we had to get a tuk tuk anyway. After dinner with Rob and George we met back up with Kimberley and went for a few drinks, George went back early because he has been feeling pretty rough for the last couple of days.
