We left the hostel before 8. For a change, we were not leaving our suitcase at reception, but taking it with us. We made our way to the railway station. Thank fully it was all downhill this time.
The station was unmanned and had seen better days but we were reassured to see our train was scheduled. We had time to walk up to the garage for coffee (twice!). It was possible to buy tickets online, via the Omio app or on the train, by card or cash.
It was interesting re-tracting our steps of the previous 7 days. The journey took about an hour and 20 minutes.
We dropped our case off at Change the World Hostel, did a small amount of souvenir shopping then headed back to the market for lunch. This time we treated ourselves to a meal at the vegetarian restaurant: a delicious tagine. We started with tasty spicy roast nuts and lupin seeds.
We checked into our room then returned to the shopping area. We found an excellent , relaxing ,healthy eating cafe (Honest Greens) where we enjoyed iced coffee and I had banana bread. The food looked excellent and would be worth trying another time.
We went to bed early to prepare for our early start but the street outside was even noisier than last time. The saxophone busker was replaced after a while, by a violinist. People were still chatting at the outside bars and cafes. Then there was the distant sound of clapping and drumming that grew louder and louder. Eventualy a procession passed by amidst more clapping and cheering. We assumed that they were football supporters. We probably managed a little sleep before the alarm went off at 2.a.m.
