We woke up early today and thought – what should we do? Well, eat breakfast was first on the list however next we went exploring at our hotel and checked out what was going on. There was to be another party at the front of the hotel tonight, so the restaurant area was off limits however the adult pool which is in front of the long pool and kids pool was not! So we decided to give hanging out a try. Andrew also went for a swim where I again, just played up to my knees in the water. The GOOD thing is that I did not slip getting out this time which was awesome! After a while though we found the sun just a bit too hot so we decided to move on and go to a market that I had read about – the Floating Market as it was the weekend and some markets are best to be visited on weekends for full shopping opportunities!
We took a taxi to the Floating Market and paid the admission fee and walked around. I did a bit of shopping as normal however it was not that busy, as it was later in the afternoon and most of the “traffic” aka tourists on busses had left. It was not what I had envisioned at all – I thought the whole market people would be on boats and we would have to take a boat to buy from them but it was not so – the majority of the market was accessible (except for the bridges with slats going across them which meant going up and over was hard) and i soon found a way around that was bridge free. If you did not want to eat, you did not have to go over a bridge! As it was still quite hot out, we decided that we had enough of the markets and people wanting you to visit their stalls so we decided to go back to the hotel. So we exited where we entered and low and behold, the taxi driver was still there sleeping in his car! That was strange – I thought the hotel said there are lots of taxis and we would not have a problem getting a new one to go to the next market! They must have arranged this? Never will know! So I said hi to the taxi driver and he took us back to the hotel – a little confused why we were not going to the next market but happy I think he did not have to follow us around.
