Avondale Market

With a free morning, we decided to visit Avondale Market which is an open air market for crafts and souvenirs.

As convention delegates had been visiting all week, the vendors learned to call out to as “brother or sister”. Savy marketing!

Quite a variety of wares including wood and stone carvings.

Very attractive carvings but no space in the luggage…

The animal bead art was very colorful and appealing.

During the global financial crisis, Zimbabwe experienced “hyperinflation” to an extreme degree. The government kept printing higher denominations to the point that a Trillion Dollar note was not enough for bus fare. I purchased these as souvenirs as they fit in my luggage so I am now officially a billionaire 🙂
