Market to beat all markets

Opposite our hotel is the most amazing covered market on the ground floor is an enormous fish market with such an incredible range of fish, shell fish and all sorts of mysterious others! On the same floor is the vegetable market but in another part of the building. In the next part of the building was the meat and poultry section. On the next floor was the fruit and spices, dried fish and all manners of others. It really was an experience. We were given lycees and an immature corn on the cob to eat.
We have just cycled over to the railway station- about 5 miles each way to check on our train in the morning to make sure they would take the tandem. Time will tell. We know we can get as far as Gemas which is about two thirds of the way back to Singapore and we will probably cycle from there.
Ironically as we cycled out of Kota Bharu we came across an enormous building site for a Tesco Supermarket- would you believe it they get everywhere!!!!!
We have a confession to make but you will have to wait until our next page to find out what it is!!!!!!!
