It was time to move to the next location and the boat ferried us back. Too late for the bus! Somebody stopped a van and the driver was so friendly to transport us to our hotel, 60 kms away. It was a nice surprise: a big room at the poolside.
We spend the time there running in the morning, relaxing and walking. We walked to Sigatoaga at noon, only 8 kms, but in the tropics it’s rather heavy. We got many offers for a lift, but we insisted to walk. Sigatoaga looks like any other tropical third world town, worn down and not smelling too good. We visited the market and as there were no tourists, we bought some stuff from Indian saleswomen to support them, of course too expensive. There were nice necklaces of local mined hematite and many other nice “jewelry”
