The original fishing village on the river.
Round the gold souk, spice souk and textile souk. All locals - didn't see another white face for 3 hours.
The place was packed. People everywhere, in shops buying stuff. It was busy as hell. Dunno if it's a Friday night thing or what, but everyone was out.
Lot less letter boxes and men in robes. More Indians and a few Africans. Dress was jeans and tee shirts.
Then we wandered into the red light district as things got iffy. We had bum steer from google maps (pre IOS6!) looking for the Hard Rock cafe.
After that we headed back to the hotel area for some 'safe' food.
Everyone here kind of wanders about, no purpose to their walking speed. The reason became clear. It so hot. I was soaked - looked like I had been in the pool fully clothed.
