A day off temples today, which saw us wandering into town for a look around the local markets. This was followed by fresh fruit juices at the Blue Pumpkin (where else? This has become a local hotspot for us). Then we walked back to the hotel along the river, which although quite pleasant along the bank, is more like sludge than water to look at.

The rest of the afternoon was spent in our usual spot besides the pool. Although usually more like bathwater than a really refreshing cool hit, it really has been a godsend in this hot and sticky climate.
