A planned market morning, for a couple of hours, then rest day for the tired legs (almost happened)
Jill and Sue headed off around 8.30 and only about 5 minutes from home it began (much sooner than expected)
Not too overcrowded, but that soon changed and the market place was huge; roads closed for around three kilometres.
Everything you can imagine
Ice cream on a pole – wedding and evening dresses, bags, underwear, tables of clothes, shoes, jewellery, leather goods and more of all of the above.
It soon became very busy and, much in need of a coffee, we dived off to the side to the first cafe we spied!
Very nice too, after 2nd coffee we hit the throngs again, with a bit more energy.
Headed back to the apartment around midday with only half of the market (if that) explored.
Sue headed back into it again, with Russ, to look for swimming shorts, as these were left behind in Malta and might be needed for the Amalfi coast at the end of the week!
A bit of a hard ask as all summer stock off the agenda with winter in Italy on its way!
Finally we found a 2nd hand table with a wide choice (summer stock) for 50c a piece, so brought two for that price to ensure one is useable (or at least fits)
We then detoured into the antique market streets
A stall of retro furniture set up as a room
Chrystal chandeliers! (Or glass maybe)
Paintings and frames
Figurines and statues
And lamps and lights in many shapes and colours!
A very colourful and interesting part of the market and some very unique pieces of art and collectables. I guess it’s lucky I am only travelling, this trip, with a carry on bag – no room for extras.
We wandered back and had a bite to eat, at a local kebab place, and home to put these travelling feet up! (8.30am to 3.00pm – a little more than a couple of hours for Sue!) I’m sure that is not a surprise to those who know me!
All who wander are not Lost girls
