From Lynne:
I’ve spent some time in the local market. It is a very colorful and vibrant place. Lots of people are happy to have their pictures taken; some will ask. I wanted to carry small change to pay them, but my friends are reluctant about that. They are delighted to see their photographs on the camera.
The people are beasts of burden while the donkeys scamper about the yard. You will see huge items loaded on bicycles and motor bikes…even something as large as a bed….but most people carry things their head.
The usual way to go a long distance is walk, bike or cab it on the back of a bota-bota (a kind of motorcycle).
A bota-bota can fit two people behind the driver.
