Wanci Night
Market
 A heap of us went in at six to eat
‘the best satay chicken supper ever.....’ We broke in to two groups as someone
said it was only a small eatery, the other half went to the fruit and veg market
and we planned to swap in an hour. The best satay shop was closed so we bimbled
to the Riski Hotel......
   Opposite the hotel we settled
(Wishful Thinking, Matilda, Wirraway and Beez Neez), we sat
and chatted, nothing happened. We sat some more, no waitress, no menu, well we
didn’t see anyone. Eventually Deb leapt up and raided
the fridge of Coke and water.
  On the table when we sat down were
cassava parcels, hard boiled eggs, salt, something
else and a dodgy, hot, red looking powder and the tissue we have now become
quite used to – a toilet roll with a plastic or raffia hat.
  Eventually, a
thin soup with noodles, cabbage and chicken appeared and we all tucked
in. Deb cracked up as we all did when it came time to
settle up. We all paid for soup and Coke but Bear had an egg - all our bills
came to something different within about fifty pence.
 We then set off for the night market
passing a house selling some quite attractive water
features. The rats here we have found sit quietly in groups and don’t
skitter away as you approach, so we just walk around them.
 The night
market was full of enthusiastic ladies selling their wares. Bear bought
six little potatoes and a bunch of baby sweetcorn for seventy five pence. Two
boxes of deep fried biscuits at twenty five pence each, a cabbage for a pound
and half a kilo of tomatoes for fifty pence. That done it was time to walk
home.
 Mick, Dee and
Misty (Incognita) leapt into a motor bike led trailer and got a
lift to the dock for fifty pence, we waved them off and carried on at a bimble
pace.
  Back to base, passing the anchor memorial we all untangled
ourselves and bade each other ‘goodnight’. An interesting day dominated by
shopping and eating out.
