I got up early this morning to get into town before the heat set in and I could to some decent sight seeing. I wondered the street for a good hour and didn't find anything of interest. I only saw urban sprawl and the nostril clogging hum of raw sewerage in the streets almost drove me to faint (some know about my week stomach to smells).





The actual part of the city of interest is on an island. When I came to a bridge I decided maybe the mainland was more interesting. Ha ha ha... I was on the mainland. I was surprised to find the 'Cultural Centre'. A prison that has been converted to a market. Each cell hold a stall with some very good upmarket handcrafts. There was a lot of tantalising stuff to buy (if I were a girl of course!).

I also stumbled on a brilliant market. The biggest I've seen yet. It took me about an hour and a half to work through and obviously came out lost on the other side. The rest of the day was spent checking out the remaining sights of the city. Nothing to note of any brilliance.
