Market Day

19.6.09
There’s a market by the border with the Congo that’s open on Tuesdays and Fridays. ON the palliative care outreaches on Tuesdays we always stop there. It’s just one of the many errands we run for everyone and their mother whenever there is a hospital truck out.

The cool thing about the market is that it’s in no-man’s-land between Uganda and the Congo so it’s shared by the two countries. You have to go through a little check point on either side, essentially a guard just opens the gate to let the truck through.

Other than the wide variety of foods the market is known for its fabrics. There are about 30 stalls with fabrics from all over Africa. I’ve splurged a little on fabrics because they’re all one of a kind!
