We get up, we ask again in the Julie but it is still full, we are not very convinced. We go out to the main street and the first one we see is the Diva. It is very good, the rooms are very colorful and are better priced than the JJ, although the bathrooms are in the terrace of the room.

So we change accommodation, have a pancake breakfast, juice and coffee, all very good. Our friend still doesn't feel well, she stays in the room and we go out for a walk.

We visit the historical temples of the old town, the Wat Phra Singh, it is very curious, there are a lot of monks wax statues, they are so well made that they look real.

In the afternoon we all go to the Saturday Market and to the night bazaar. The night bazaar is very popular. There is a very good and relaxed atmosphere. We meet again with the Valencian women, we have a few laughs.
