Massai Market Place




This is the Tuesday Market in Nairobi. It was quite an adveture. Pete, Katie, Jennifer, and I went and had great success. We had an edge compared to the average tourist as we knew how to bargain and weren't afraid to walk away. Here in Cameroon it is like a game, as they have nothing else to do with their day so the vendors want to banter with you. In Kenya they only had

the market two days a week (I think at different locations) so they were a bit more rushed. In the bottom shot Katie is giving Pete tips as they both want some shirts and neither wants the other to cave and give too high a price. At one point Pete was trying to trade the hat we got in South Africa for a Kenya one, but decided to just buy it and have them both. In the end he ended up buying more than the rest of us, though I was warned not to go overboard!
