Ladies selling clothes

On & along the beaches we saw local ladies
sell Hat ,T-shirts, and other items like Handbags etc.

What to buy: There were lots of specialty items , many wooden carved Animals many African crafts.

What to pay: You should look at the item and pay a fair prize some will ask for more than the item is worth but they will bargain with you about the price.
