We were sitting in the Laibon veggie restaurant, chatting away to the owner and a few other people when the heavens opened. Not being people used to rain we of course didn’t have umbrellas or rainbcoats… oh yeah, we’ve lived far too long in a hot country with 3 days of rain a year… so whilst shivvering under cover, contemplating what to do we spotted a sign for the Marionette Museum and ran through the streets to jump in their door and idle our time until the rain passed .jpg)

I loved this guy – he reminded me of Baldrick from the Blackadder TV series
A camel in case we were missing home!A grasshopper even!
It was spooky, and funny and lovingly looked after by a lady who told the girls stories of the puppets and let them play – they found elves and devils and princesses and even father Christmas – and when we left, the rain had passed… perfect – well worth a visit!
