We went for a bike ride in the morning around the countryside. We checked out the local fish market and saw some live animals being sold. There was lots of plant spotting (Giang yelling out the name of a plant from the front and the rest of us yelling it down the chain of bikes!) and saying hello to the local kids. We also were lucky enough to stop and watch some guys making roof tiles out of sand & cement, a neat process to watch. And I walked acros my first monkey bridge.
Final stop was the beach, about 4km out of town. A very nice beach but didn't have my togs so couldn't go for a swim.Most of the afternoon was back at the tailors checking fits, making tiny changes and picking up the final clothes :) I also stopped in at the Yaly workshop where I got to see the tailors making the clothes, and also rug makers and embroiders. It was really interesting to watch. They also had a section which showed silk worms and the process they used to extract the silk.
