Kuta Market

We had been told that you could buy anything at Kuta market and that it was cheap. The only thing is you HAVE to barter/haggle with them. The price is always ridiculously high to begin with when you ask how much something is, so when your counteroffer is ridiculously low they look really hurt, but this is just a ruse. Eventually we agreed on a price or we walked away. It is really good fun!

We first bought 6 beer coolers for 1.50GBP to try out our bartering skills but I think we paid to much. Alan bought some cream trousers for 1.20GBP but he has had to re-enforce the stitching a couple of times so they were a bad buy.

Best buys were; my pale blue crocs (shoes) with flowers printed on them for 1.50GBP, a pink and a pale blue top (to match my shoes) for 1.25GBP each, a dress for 1.50GBP and Alans black linen trousers for 2.50GBP. I also bought a new white and pink sarong to match my bikinis for about a pound.

(don't worry dad I can still fit everything in my rucksack x)
