Tanna - Lenakel market

lots of vitamines there.....no chips and sweets and coca cola....

Haha, absolutely, Roeli! Those people are farmers and the volcanic land of their island are very fertile (as you can see), but not fertile enough to grow coca-cola and chips ;-) ... but I do not think the locals would miss it :-).

Thanks for commenting!

Best wishes

Me gustan los mercados y este es genial! y con productos muy frescos ,seguro!like Saludo desde Catalunya ,Dora

Gracias Dora!

The whole island has a size of approx. 20 x 40 km. By whichj means do people move there from place to place? Maybe I didn't look hard enough but I don't remember to have seen any cars in your photos. Do they walk all the time, are there public transport systems (buses)? Or does every farmer have a donkey to carry the nice vegetables from the slopes of the volcano to the market?

Very likeable, your photo, especially the fresh carrots :-)

Well ... most of people there live happily with little or no money, so they would basically walk most of the time, even (for Westerner) quite a long distances. What you see here is a bi-weekly held market where people from practically the entire island participate ... so now you have a kind of idea. No public transport, of course ... and even if they have some cars, one of my local friends told me there were virtually 0 car accidents as the roads are so bad that people cannot drive fast enough to make an accident :-) You may appreciate the quality of roads there and one of the best petrol stations on the island :-)

Bravo por la gasolinera, no hay colas , pero en el taller mecánico, con esas carreteras seguro que si Saludos, Dora :)

:-) thanks for comment, Dora!

that's real food!!!!!

Oh yes ... and very tasty, dear Christa! This island has a lot of fertile volcanic soil, that's why! thank you for your visit!

Dominik, thank you for the nice photos. Vanuatu is an interesting place and people seem to be happy (happier than us, Westerners with much more). Lovely album.

Greetings, Tamas

Many thanks, Tamas! You are definitely right ... the people there live in very different way, and definitely it has its advantages ...

Thanks for your visit!

Very, very interesting photo! - it is real life and it is not less interesting than beautiful place of nature!

Hi Maksym! Yes ... the market on Tana island is really quite an interesting place, you can meet there the whole island :-)
