Even by 10.00 I was not feeling at all happy about the idea of getting up, due to the three bottles of dodgy beer consumed the night before.

We decided to find a restaurant on the way to the bus station for breakfast. Unfortunately our chosen venue was rather bad value for money. Despite the fact that the café was dinghy and fly-infested, an omelette and a cup of tea was twice the price that we had paid the day before in a much nicer place.

We had a pretty similar sort of day to yesterday at Bogmalo Beach, except the journey there cost an alarming Rs 1.25 and we had a crappy and expensive curry at lunch-time.

We boarded the 5.00 bus with plenty of time so, of course, it departed several minutes late.

Back in Vasco we discovered that England had beaten South Africa in the semi-final and ate at Urvashi's again. I didn't dare have more than one beer tonight.
