Well today saw us venture out of our comfort zone in regards to local transport. We bit the bullet and cruised and around in a tuk tuk to various shopping places. After a small adventure out in a tuk tuk this morning we returned to near the hotel to start our next adventure. It was all part of the experience we kept saying to ourselves. This was started after a conversation with and Indian man called "Bill." He drove us in his tuk tuk and took us to various silver shops, and places that sold scarves and local handicrafts. Toot has made a few lovely purchases including a scarfe and some earrings and a nice ring. And I fear there will be many more to come. Oh no.
After several hours out with Bill we returned to the hotel to have a rest before our group meeting this evening. With the streets fairly quiet this afternoon with all the locals at home for the Diwali festival, things have certainly picked up this evening. Following the group meeting we all went on a walk to find some dinner with no luck. Most people are at home with their families celebrating the festival. The rest of the locals are out blowing up anything in sight as long as it makes a loud noise and pretty sparks. It sounds as though we are writing this from the main street in Baghdad. Due to nothing being open, we were forced to have KFC for dinner tonight. Only chips since we're on a strict vego diet while here!!
I feel this is going to be a somewhat sleepless night due to the blowing up of stuff outside our window. Not sure the ear plugs are going to even touch the sides of the noise going on out there. We must never complain about the street noise on Denmead ever again - NEVER!
And with that we bid you farewell this evening. Our next post will be coming to you from the middle of the Ganges, well maybe just the edge.
Ciao for now, dont forget the comments so that we know you really do miss us!
Toot & Gordo Xx.
