The warm sun continues, so we head down to the waterfront. We're not the only ones - it's a holiday for most and the promenade is crowded with people - children showing off their new acquisitions, couples with babies in prams, puppies excited by the action.Two young men walk past us, one talking on his mobile: "You'll have to invite us for coffee - we have no money today." There's plenty available for those who have money, though. Kiosks selling candy floss and popcorn or ice cream; a man roasting chestnuts and cobs of corn; bright plastic toys; helium filled balloons shaped like alligators or dalmatians or Mickey Mouse; heaps of dried fruit and nuts. An enormous Orthodox priest in black sits Rasputin-like behind a stall of religious objects, and further down the promenade there is a booth with a game of chance on display. We haven't quite worked out how the prize system works. Mostly the prizes don't look all that desirable - brightly coloured china cows or small plastic footballs. The blue stuffed elephant would probably make some little child happy, though, and there's a bottle of Johnny Walker red that must require more money or luck than the kiddy toys.
