A surreal view of the moon reflecting on the sea and the lights of the restaurant reflecting in the window

We stopped off in town to buy a tray but what's this?! Amazingly as we were peering in

We met the owner passing by who took us to her temporary stall in the market where we bought some lovely things 😉
We were passed on information that you can walk he dogs at the local rescue centre

And the wild Roo
You can't tell by the photos but we had a total of 6 human legs and 9 dog legs - three tripods. All sweeties. They also have lots of cats there too. Very hard to leave them there but not
Sure about smuggling one of these on the plane
Love to all xxx
