  • Large and sprawling, the market was a local affair, we did not see any tourist trinkets for sale at all. The goods were mainly fruit and vegetables, meat, household gooda and colthing. Unlike on the coast, the people took very little notice of us, getting on with their daily business as we passed. We did pick up a acouple of young hangers-on towards the end of our stroll around the market, who were proving to be very persistent and rather hard to shake off. We did not see any other white people during our time at the market, making our visit all the more authentic.
