Day 7 - Market and beach

Saturday is market day in Saint-Pierre, the capital of the south. Its a particularly good one too: they close of the seafront road and have the market there!
We spent the whole morning wandering around seeing, smelling touching and buying all kinds of things.
There were things that you would expect such as tomatoes and onions and chickens (yes, live). There were also spices, honey, bread... also crafts, carvings from wood and from volcanic stone, needlework, tee-shirts and other clothing. It was great fun but HOT and by the end of it, we were glad to go back to our base, where its a bit cooler for a long drink.
The market wore us out so we went to the beach to relax, read, swim and write postcards for the rest of the day.
