A very interesting set up where people went for Barter trade ! This is what we traded for two pack of coffee.

and the rest we purchased. Looked back, the idea of barter trade is a gimmick. It attract people and when we were at the stall, we ended up make a lot more purchases. Overall, it was enjoyable and very good bargain.

Rhythm with African Heartbeat, as we board our bus. A very memorable experience – graceful animals and images of difficult livelihood.
