Maria dragged me out for a stroll in the midday heat &#8211; she had a hat but did she think of me? John took some &#8216;arty&#8217; photos from a street barrow.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/22788868@N02\/2268963544\/\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2417\/2268963544_5a154530be_m.jpg\" alt=\"Fruit stall\" width=\"234\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve no idea what the fruit is, but John bought one &#8216;to be polite&#8217;. We tried it later and we still have no idea what it is. A bit bland with VERY hard seeds.<br \/>\nMaria then spent ages looking at materials in a store &#8211; you would have thought she had never seen dress material before!! John  took us to a shop he usually uses &#8216;Cauvery&#8217; &#8211; where various crafts people sell their wares. Maria bought a wall hanging, some bags, some sandelwood things and some metal bowls &#8211; John spent the whole time muttering about not spending all of our money at the first place we can find (and then bought himself a walking stick). All I got was an elephant. After all of this I was a bit tired so I asked if we could go back to the hotel. There was no pavement so we walked in the road and through a petrol station. Apparently pavement are &#8216;optional&#8217;. Maria kept panicking about the motorbikes, only a couple of them actually brushed against her. Mind you, you do take your life in your hands whenever you cross the road. John spotted some scaffolding &#8211; wooden!!!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/22788868@N02\/2268964830\/\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2121\/2268964830_d1896ee39a_m.jpg\" alt=\"Scaffolding\" width=\"192\" height=\"240\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWhen we got back to the hotel John collapsed in a chair in the bar and ordered a beer, so Maria and I joined him and I had a very cold Kingfisher beer and some nuts.
