Developments

As nothing was happening on the work side, I decided to go into the centre of town to confirm my return ticket and see what was going on there.

The main square is full of people and thousands more are milling around in the adjacent streets. Most of the shops are closed or only have their security grilles partially opened so they can pull them down quickly if things get out of hand. I did manage to sort my ticket, so that was good.

On the way back through the square the anti-riot squad came by on their motorbikes but the crowd surrounded them and would not let them pass. They were showered with anything that came to hand. However, it was all fairly good-natured on the whole.

Primo still can't get down as there is no public transport running from the high valleys. Maybe he will be able to come down in the afternoon ...
