The rain having stopped, we decided that it was about time to explore in town. In the flea
market, alongside the usual sarongs and eye-wateringly-bright
shirts, a more exotic local mix : ladies industriously plaiting ribbons of
dyed raffia into metre-long crescent-shaped garlands (apparently made to
order for any special occasion - wedding, birthday, anniversary, passing, one lady told me)
and, talking of "made to order", we couldn't help noticing two competing funeral services (you'll notice that the coffins have a clear plastic peep-hole over the visage...)
