We slept in this morning in preparation for our shopping expedition. We're not entirely happy with the hotel so we move just around the corner for an additional $2 we have a fantastic place complete with a roof top pool.

We have a difficult breakfast, as we try two seperate cafe's, each time receiving failed pancakes, we give up! - There are many street sellers from kids to war veterans to newspaper sellers to ladies selling some strange type of nuts. Its kinda annoying when they continue to enter the cafes and pester you to buy something. Repeated No, Thank You's does not work its tone which they seem to understand.

Today is virtually spent trawling through magazines and clothes directories choosing fabrics and getting measured up. Many places insist on deposits but we manage to haggle less than 20% deposit in all cases.

We have a few local beers (excellent - Fergus maintains its 2nd best to Australia's Cold) and home to bed, exhausted!
