Up and at 'em today! Spent 5 hours choosing tops, dresses, trousers and fabrics and blowing the budget..... just a little! So many fabrics in so many groovy patterns ... Oh and kaftans too for the summer. For lunch we had a great curry of potatoes, peas and okra with buttery soft chappatis courtesy of the factory bosses mum. Thank you mummy Ji! We got a lift to the factory but walked back to town in the sun which was a real treat after the wet and cold of the UK. Little children walking back from school (immaculate uniform and hair) shouting hello from the other side of the road to us then hiding behind mummy's sari when we said hello back! So cute.
My brain was totally fried after concentrating so hard on clothes so we wandered around the bazaar and sat and had chai tea with people we had already ordered from. We still have quite a few things to buy tomorrow and we leave Friday lunchtime so all being well physically and mentally we will have achieved our aims.
I'm sad we didn't get chance to go to TOLFA today but I'm sure we will get there soon as it's just such a great place.
Tea was street food cooked in front of us - a felafel wrap with humous and veg inside for £1.20. Marvellous!
