BOTANIC GARDENS

Our bad luck for the week continued on Wednesday. i have been looking for a pair of black and white trousers (I know but they are all the rage). Phil took me to Paddy's Market to look for some  and the plan was he would then drop me off at the Botanic Gardens.  He was to look for a parking space and I would phone him when I was finished and he would meet me on the corner. Paddy's Market is amazing there are hundreds of stalls. Think of Fuengirola market and triple it. I wandered round didn't find any trousers and went off to pick up Phil. Guess who had left her phone at home!  I looked all round the adjacent streets and couldn't find him, so stood on the corner for almost an hour thinking he is bound to realise something was wrong.   Eventually i decided that I couldn't just go off to the Gardens and I would have to go back and get my phone. Got a bus then a ferry and got in the door nearly three hours after I went into the market and there was Phil texting "I will have to move soon how much longer do you need?"  Patience of a saint or what. Anyway I got to the Gardens in the afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed walking through cooled down with the breeze from the Harbour.  I saw quite a few things I missed last time  so I was glad I managed to get there in the end.  Then I went off to get a ferry home but just missed it because I stopped to take a photo of an Aborigine dancing!!!!!!!
