Nice walk but don’t buy at the store! - Nice walk where we discovered plants, trees and spices. Nice little hats that the guide made for us out of palm leaves. On the other hand, purchases at the store have no interest. We were very disappointed because the spices have absolutely no taste. Same for the tea which even tastes rancid... even though the seller had given us a sample which smelled very good. We were also a little annoyed by the seller who refused to give us prices. We got the overall amount a little steep, but hey we tell ourselves that it keeps the locals alive…
