Today was pretty nice, we had made it clear to Tim that we could not afford the minibus every day and that we wanted to go to the National Park on Friday as we had missed a lot of the trips that he had promised us. I also mentioned to him again that it was not fair to expect us to visit every family of Tim-Afriks members, although we were happy to send them gifts.
So Fusion split into two groups today. A group of us travelled out to the Arts Market again where we wanted to have a go at haggling for ourselves and the other group went for a walk to see what they would find.
We bumped into Kassim on the way, completely by accident! We were proud we had remembered the way and must have looked very confident. It was strange seeing someone we knew suddenly walk into sight. Kassim came with us and it was nice, we also met up with Sani. These guys are brilliant and never expect anything from us, they buy their own drinks and are so helpful
The other group had Morrison with them who turned up when we had left, he helped them find their way to have their hair braided and pick up some little presents.
We taught Kassim a schoolyard trick with some folded paper, he loved it and kept the game with him in his bag. While we were in the Arts Markets, a huge sandstorm erupted outside and sand swept through the indoor market where we had managed to hide. It was intense. Once it was over we saw so many shop keepers creeping out to take their stock back outside or wiping down their items which were now covered in dirt!
Everyone wanted to go out to the Ocean Bar but rain had come and it was quite bad so Kassim advised us to go another time. We had a vote and the majority ruled to go on Friday night, mainly because we wanted to be up early for the National Park in the morning. Some weren't happy with the result but at least it was a fair vote.
