Following the coffee break we returned to the streets, walked through the Market Square and out the other side and at this point alarm bells started to ring because it soon became obvious to me that Kim was leading us directly towards the shopping arcades. I knew the signs, I have seen them many times before, the sniff of the perfume, the glitter of the sparkly things catching the corner of the eye and the smell of shoe leather.
For a while I fell behind after stopping to buy a doughnut from a shop with a long and patient queue but after the purchase I caught her up and queried this but was received an assurance that this was a complete coincidence – but I wasn’t entirely convinced. And as it turned out I had good reason not to be entirely convinced because suddenly we were outside the entrance to a modern shopping mall and the tractor beam that attracts women into shops was working on maximum draw power.

What an interesting city.
I must find out more about their dwarves and the pedestrians rising from the pavement.

There was no intention to offend. It was a joke comment. Don’t be so touchy.

Not offended! Merely making an observation. Though now I shall show how touchy I am by flouncing off in a huff 😉.

With Anabel on the stereotyping, and here was me thinking you were the very epitome of a modern man! Lovely pictures in your post, Andrew, and I love the coloured houses.

The dwarves are a really clever feature of the city.
