Spicing things up

OK so we are fast coming to the end of this amazing trip. We took a 'tuck-tuck' down to the spice market in Mombasa. It is supposed to be a colourful place and good for buying up a variety of spices. Colourful it certainly was but the hassle from everyone wanting us to spend money with them rather spoiled things. We got into the spirit of it though and toughed it out with the various stall holders.

One of the few who did not hassle us

Spices turned out to be quite pricey so no purchases were made after all which did not endear us to anyone! But we did get the full treatment as you can see from the video where Paul is learning all about the Cumin!

All the colours in all the sizes!

We did work up a bit of an appetite though so the quest for street food to vomit by continued! We took a back street tour of the market and bought some samosas that had been beautifully stirred in boiling oil with a stick. They were absolutely delicious and by far the best samosas either of us had aver had. That was fun and a great experience to meet with the locals as they cooked up all manner of food stuffs.

Tuck-tuck fun!

Tomorrow is pack up time and flying home. We meet Peter to pack-up the bikes first thing in the morning (Tuesday).
