More rain and the Swedish Trio
I got up at 10.00am because otherwise I would have lost a day to sleeping. Thankfully 3 other girls were up and about and adopted me for the day. They were all from Sweden 2 sisters and a friend.
They were absolutly golden to me lending me money till we found a bank that accepted my card. We headed to the city to see some of the sights. We found an HSBC and i got money and then it rained. We headed round the markets and the cathedral etc the streets are mad filled with poundland type shops where you can buy anything you wanted and thought you didnt need. Im glad I was adopted for the day because there was no way I would have managed on my own and would have got lost. It also then dawned on me that Ive been a bit blonde all this time and I should have taken GPS out with me and tracked routes at least then I would have eventually got back to where I was staying!! DER and DOH spring to mind.
Its quite a bizarre city on one side you have people living in cardboard and pallet houses right next to a brand new mercedes benz garage. Theres quite a few dodgy areas that we walked through quite quickly. The buses and metro is just crazy there appears to be no safety ruling. Fit as many as you can on then try to get up the hill seems to be the plan.
I had an evening meal with the girls and we put the world to rights over a few beers.
