24 August – Sunday
Not discussing football today!!! Another beautiful day in the tropics, although with a bit of high cloud, the temperature only reached about 25.
This morning we headed for the much publicised Sunday market in the Flinders Mall. Lots and lots of jewellery – bead earrings, necklaces and bracelets mostly – handmade soaps, crafts, fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately, most of the produce was sold out by 10.00am but we did manage to get some avocadoes and tomatoes. How were are going to miss the avocadoes when we head south – the local ones are just delicious, much creamier and a completely different flavour to supermarket fruit. Red paw paw has become another favourite, although much harder to find than the normal yellow.
The Olympics finish today and while the coverage has been rather drawn out with station promos and advertisements, there have been some wonderful moments In the last couple of days, the gold medals for the pole vault and diving were definite highlights.
