Again hung around the house in the morning (supposed to be camel riding but plans changed). We decided to go out walking so we headed out, found McDonalds and a local supermarket, then used the underpass to cross the busy street. We turned right (later realised it should have been left) and found ourselves in a local street where we looked in all sorts of shops. Found a luggage store and bought 2 straps for the kids suitcases - one they even stitched up on an ancient sewing machine as we watched.

Mike and Adrian found a shoe shop and bought fantastic leather shoes for Adrian and boots for Mike. We walked back and found the area called Korba where there is some nice shops and cafes. We decided to stop at Starbucks - cappucino for me and hot chocolate for the others. Wandered back, stopping at the supermarket for supplies then into all the shoe and clothing shops just down the road from Helene's. Ange bought some really nice French (Italian) leather boots which were 60% off - came down to 513LE.

Walked back to Helene's then drove with Lina to Tresor travel's office where we sta and chatted to Helene then walked next door to Gabby's for a visit with Alphonse. Back to Helene's place for dinner, kids went to bed early then Mike and I followed around 10pm.
