Day 110 Wet

22/06/13
After a shower I walked in the rain to the town centre where I bought a baguette for breakfast and sheltered under a tarpaulin to eat it. My next stop was a cafe, not only did I want a coffee I also wanted to dry out. The place I chose was staffed by deaf/mute people so you had to write your order down, it was a very quite place to chill, I stayed reading there for ages. As it was still raining I went back to my room for a bit in the hopes that the weather would clear up as I had intended to go to the beach. After a late lunch it was still raining so I braved my way to the shoe shop but I was told that my shoes weren't ready to collect until 17.00. With time to kill I found another cafe to waste time in. At 17.00 I returned and found my shoes fitted perfectly and they also looked splendid (in my opinion anyway). My evening was much the same as yesterday, I ate at a different restaurant and then headed down to the river where the stalls were the same. I also walked to the edge of town where I had read there was a large theatre with the official opening ceremony. Again it was only for VIPs and unfortunately I didn't quite make the cut. Surprisingly.

A parade of all the ASEAN countries in national dress.

£40 well spent
