We do love going to markets on our vacations whether it be food, handcrafted goods
or supplies. We love them all. The past few days we have been scoping out the markets and shops here, price comparing and bartering just a bit to get a feel for where we can get the best quality for the fairest price.

 

I also scored  the tribal necklace of my dreams to hang on the wall by my water buffalo painting from Vietnam.
