Taytay

Day 160 & 161.

We were up bright an early to make our way to our much anticipated mode of transport to TayTay - the Jeepney. Slight mistake in being so early however which pleft us cooking for just over 1 hour in what was essentially a big tin can, not cool.

The weather has taken a turn for the worse and the rain was hammering it down, limbster in particular bearing the brunt of it on the bus. This meant a cosy day for us, I've rarely seen us persist more than we did to get that satellite TV working, yes a man to fix it would be lovely.

TayTay itself was a quiet local town, with few tourists but it was great to see real island life a little more than usual. This also meant local food and therefore a real array of meat was on offer. Choosing a 'side dish' with my chicken Insal was particularly curious, fries, veg, garlic bread maybe, no? Just pure gellotine, big chunky cubes of gellotine - delightful.

Eden cheese has become as much a staple to our diet as the Kraft cheese of Sri Lanka. Its hard to say whether both are equally poor or equally amazing. Time will tell once we finally get our hands on some good old cheddar back home.
