When we wanted to travel within the country, we would often go by bus as far as the road went and then hiked through the "bush", being guided by women who carried loads of supplies of market items for other people. These women were in such a hurry to go and get back, there was no time to show us interesting sights or animals. We just ran along behind them, carrying our own things.

Occasionally this meant going north to walk south and get to a town that was just down the coast from us, but we couldn't afford to fly there by a small plane.
