Back in Muros, hunkered down in anticipation of a southerly blow due on Monday until at least Thursday :(
Jojo: we had fun going around an 'Easy Weigh' type shop, the only difference was that you scooped up kilos of frozen calamari, octopus, rays, flat fish, king prawns and all sorts of other exotic things. Supper tonight was calamari, empenadas (little vegetable pies) and home-caught prawns. I thought I had at least learnt my numbers so when we were in another shop looking at snorkelling fins, I gulped when the shop assistant said they were 50 Euros; we decided to go ahead anyway as Harry has nicked mine.... I handed her 50 Euros and was delighted when she gave me 35 Euros change! Ooops, 15 sounded like 50.
Bol: I was delighted to find a 'Ferreteria' which is ideal for ferrets to go ferreting in (it is actually a hardware shop). I also really enjoyed my first calamari of the trip.
Isabelle: we went to a hardware shop and bought equipment to make a prawn trap. Then Daddy and Harry tried to start trying to make a trap with a funnel and a net and a bucket.
Harry: we caught more prawns which we had for supper. I went for a row before supper and found a football in the harbour. I took it ashore to some boys who were playing in the park, they were pleased to see I had it, they asked me if it was mine and I said 'non'.
