Day 117: Mackie’s Saturday night bazaar

We spent one last day on the beach (big surprise) and then went to Mackie’s Saturday night bazaar – which, forgive the pun – was more than a little bizarre. There were more western tourists in the market than we had seen in all of India. Food stalls sold Nepalese momos (dumplings), nachos, beer on tap, and falafel. And possibly the weirdest part of all was the cover band playing everything from old Madonna songs to Gangnam Style in the middle of the market complete with groups of ‘dude-bros’ rocking. it. out. Needless to say, it didn’t feel like India, and felt weird to be spending our last night in India there. We looped around the market picking up some knock-off sunglasses and harem pants before we headed back to Calengute to send Kate off to the airport.
