Slept well and we were up and into it again this morning, it already feels like we have been here a week. Straight into cars where we were taken to another market which is known for its fabric off cuts from garment manufacturing. This was a slightly more confronting and intense experience and we were quite the novelty and talk of the whole market apparently.
The onslaught of smells and honking horns was quite a shock and we were all very happy to jump on the back of a rickshaw and be swept down the tight lanes to our destination.
We arrived at a store that was four levels high and went straight to the top to see floor to ceiling silk in every colour and print imaginable and then some. I have to confess that I may have gone a little crazy in here and bought up big on some beautiful plains and prints in both silk and silk/cotton.
Then it was home for a quiet afternoon where we had a little wander in the local markets and bought some local clothes to suit the climate.
