Monday 11th July – Erdek (Market day)

Market day:  After breakfast we went looking for the market as we had been told that Monday was market day – it took a bit of finding.  The market was not in a market place, instead it started on one of the side streets near the square, but then went on and on and on – with fruit and veg stall after fruit and veg stall stretching along several streets right out past the bus station.  Part way along a road forked off to the left which was the start of the clothing and hardware markets, we followed that trail to its end as well – again, the market went on and on along several streets. 

 

It was a good morning’s exercise combing our way through the stalls of produce and clothing, inevitably stocking up with fruit and vegetables as we went.  We arrived back at Pyxis early afternoon and I struggled to find a place for everything as we have not been cooking aboard.

 

We had an afternoon on Pyxis, alternately sunbathing on deck with a book and hiding from the sun.
