Arrived yesterday in time to get the last customs berth, clearance took all morning and we were at last free to go ashore. Luck remained with us and we got the last berth in the marina. That means electricity, wifi and water. The Coprashed Marina is quite small but has friendly staff, a nice bar and restaurant with deck over the water. The shops and market are only a short walk away and are well stocked. Chris says the beer is excellent!. Too shattered to do anything yesterday (fell asleep before we had finished our bottle of wine). Feeling much better now after a good sleep. Went into town plenty of shops and a good market with loads of lovely spicy aromas (will have to come without sun glasses as it is a bit too dark in there to identify things). Much cheaper than Tonga. Lunch out for about £1.50 and evening meal in Marina restaurant for £10 so quite hopeful that I may get my birthday meal out (It didn't happen in Tonga because they were not showing the Rugby. Loads of fabric shops so may get a new Lavalava. Supermarket is well stocked with European, Indian and Chinese foods and spices.
