Went on the dolphin trip a while ago and saw dolphins in the distance. I was on a slow boat and an American girl made a fuss about the time as she had a bus to catch so we had to turn back early and never quite caught up with the pod. I have done a bit of sailing and have seen heaps of dolphins so didnt mind too much and it turned out he was going slow because he was told to be careful!
As for the markets...one cloudy morning I found myself in a market like that at 5.30. It was raining slightly and we (daughter and I)were filling in time before a cooking school tour. Only locals around and we perched on a wooden seat and had the best coffee from a lady with a little stall.Everyone was curious but friendly. it was one of the best coffees I have ever had, and the experience is a great memory. Went on to do a tour of the fish market and a full day cooking. The smells and sounds cant be captured by a camera but it was unforgettable.
