8th May

At least the rain has stopped but the wind is blowing strongly from where we want to head. We went to walk round the big fresh water lagoon behind the town. It was deserted until we came across the cemetery. Large family mausoleums were lined up in rows. The names of the dead were given a relevance through the photos stuck to the front of each mausoleum. Families were laying fresh cut flowers on them. We then got lost and had to retrace our route until we found the right path. A few desultory flamingos were plodding along in the shallow. Back in the centre of the town boys were playing football and families were out in the few bars that were opened. We read the papers and watched a DVD. It's forecast to be even windier tomorrow.
