To market, to market...

Grasshoppers, chili or lime flavoured? Mixed with peanuts?




Two design graduates from Mexico city, doing their community service in Oaxaca. They are working in different projects. One involves working with women weavers and the other with a local tour.




Fresh bread. These are huge loaves - at least two handspans across.




The bread seller. The dusted ones are named after a sea shell. At first I thought I was being told they had ground seashell in them.




Off to the fruit and veges. Chilis...




Guavas...




Avocado...




Citrus...




Limes...




Vegetables and fresh herbs.




Meats and sausages...




Pork...




Tripe...




Tripe and trotters...




Sheets of pork crackling and blood sausages...




And if you eat too much at the market you won't be wanting to try these on!








But he will be happy to assist.

We saved the best for last. The longest distance we have ever ridden two up in one day. From Marlborough's Wairau Valley vineyards... To lake Rotoiti And the forest-clad hills  That accompany us south and to the west coast. Coffee stop at the Beeches in Murchison Awesome pies for lunch in Hokitika Whitebait fritters at the Paringa Salmon Farm.

Ngorogoro Crater formed 2.5million years ago after a volcanic eruption. The crater is about 19km in diameter and has steep sides. The road descending into the crater is definitely a 4WD road. Steep and rugged. The floor of the crater has lakes which provide water for animals year round. There is a resident population of wildebeest and zebra, buffalo, zebra, many hyena, lions and birds. While we were visiting the area the skies were magnificently moody. The crater is around 2300m altitude so it was pleasantly cool. Short grass necessitates knee bending for the warthog whilst feeding. One of the many hyena cooling off. A weaver bird.  There were lots of weaver bird nests in the trees. Some birds were on the winge carrying straw to their nests. The superb starling. A contented wildebeest Plenty of lions on the prowl. Weaver bird nests Zebra galore  Lions having breakfast on a freshly killed buffalo. Getting around by Caravan
