Guyana -- Day 8


We woke up at a good time this morning and headed out to the Parika market. This market is open on Thursday and Sunday, with the latter being the busier day. That being said, it was Thursday today and it wasn't that busy. It was nice to see the variety of items that were available though. We spent a couple of hours around the market and walked down the street to a couple of other stores before heading back home.

We had some lunch and sadly enough, finalized packing our suitcases. We wanted to stay in Georgetown for the last couple of nights of our trip, so today was the day to check in to the hotel in the city. We also wanted to give our Aunt and Cousin a little break from us :) We spent the afternoon packing up our things, eating lunch, and playing some cards and Snakes and Ladders with Kevin and his Sister.

We left at 3pm and took a taxi in to the city. We checked in to our hotel and settled in before heading out for a brief walk around the area. We grabbed a taxi and went out for dinner, sitting on the balcony/patio part of the restaurant which was nice and relaxing. After dinner, we went back to the hotel, grabbed a drink at their bar where an 80 year old mango tree lived, and turned it in early for the night.
