Head north out of town to a seaside suburb (not sure of the name, but I'll find out), and you can visit a proper beach. Don't go imagining sand, parasols, suncream and swimmers...this is really nothing more than a rubbish dump next to the sea, but it is interesting to see how life goes on in this quarter. There are many student dormitories nearby, so you might see a few football matches taking place on patches of wasteground. Veiled women wade through the shallows, the tips of their tobes lapped by waves, while children poke sticks at jellyfish, and fishermen wash down their boats at sunset. Further along, a group of barbers do brisk business cutting men's hair in the sea...well, I suppose they don't have to worry about sweeping the floor afterwards! If you paddle, try to avoid stepping on a jellyfish, a rusty old can, or a patch of wet mud.
Some of the fishermen agreed to take us out in their boats if we'd returned the next morning...we didn't return, but it might be worth a try if you're into that sort of thing. Leave a Comment
