A day in the markets

On Saturday night we got from the nice and unfortunately unknown young lady the tip, to look at the farmers market in Los Llanos on Sunday morning by. For there you would get fresh fruits and vegetables directly from the island, harvested ripe and not transported far. That we sure did not want to miss and went after breakfast on the way.

At the half-way route we came unexpectedly into a kind of traffic jam. An Island ratios surprisingly large amount of cars was apparently looking for a parking space. The lucky ones, her car had already gotten rid of, flocked determined by a large gate and thus disappeared from our sight. What was going on here? Were curious as we, we changed our plans immediately. We stopped and parked our car in a side street off. A little later we found ourselves on a large artisans- and flea market.

Dietmar I really fell for the glassblowing, in a glass-makers worked at the glass melting furnace. He quickly got out of there this week and it turned, that they had not only visited both the same in Wertheim vocational school, but there had acquaintances in common. Die Welt ist klein und die „Glasbläser-Welt“ ist anscheinend noch kleiner 🙂

After the first visit to the market we were only really in shopping mood and drove on to the farmer's market, as it was originally planned. Although it had become quite late, the offer was still huge and the quality convincing. So hiked two kilos of oranges (1a quality 1 € for Kilo), a cauliflower and lettuce in our basket.

Until the daily radio round at half past two a little time remained for us, we used for a trip to the viewpoint "El Time" directly above the port.

So we were back to the ship on time and as agreed to put Dietmar 14:30 UTC contact via shortwave on 22.159 Mhz for yacht MAYA on the way from Cape Verde by Barbedos and SY BELOW SEA in the Caribbean ago. Dietmar had made it their task, to supply the two yachts on the long crossing to the Caribbean with weather information and to ask for being on board. In addition, the families and friends of the crews were happy, if he has passed the greetings of the sailors by email to them.
