On our last day in Tukuyu we were supposed to go to a waterfall. The driver picked us up in an old Toyota van that looked like trouble. There were ten of us plus driver in a van the size of VW van for what was supposed to be a all day trip through the wilds. It really had a strong smell of gas in the van and as the driver stopped as a gas station a couple blocks from the hotel he not only filled the tank but also a small gas can without a lid that was under his seat. That's when I decided I would rather not take the drive in such a crowded and smelly vehicle. When I got out a few others decided they also didn't want to see a waterfall so we started to walk back to town. We stopped at this banana stand to buy 4 bananas. One of our group thinking they knew the language talked to the proprietor and determined 4 bananas were about twelve cents. we gave the lady the money and she gave us two big bunches, it seems the twelve cents was not for 4 bananas but for 4 kilos of them, so we walked back carrying our bananas. we never did eat them all.
