I know that some of you have experienced problems with the donations page on the For Africa site. They are on the case and will hopefully have this back up and running very soon.

Well done and thank you for your support.
Here is Week Seven …
I step out of the Bubblecraft and start to take a stroll but am immediately short of breath as I am just under 12,000 ft (3,640m) above sea level. I find myself surrounded by weird and wonderful items for sale as I am in a very special sort of market. I can’t say that I am overly keen to buy any of the items on sale, not just because the Bubblecraft is cramped but also because I don’t have much use for a dried llama foetus. I pass a Basilica that takes its name from a saint who may have been less than impressed by the sale of dried animal parts, before finding one of the sights I most wished to see here. A clock that, as we are in the southern hemisphere, goes the wrong way – or the right way depending on how you look at it. I check the time and realise that I must move on. More cable cars! Marvellous! The city is renowned for its use of this most sensible form of transport in such a mountainous environment. I take in a panoramic view of the city from a Mirador which takes its name from the local name for a type of raptor. One almost feels that one is hovering, which would be apt. What a wonderful and unexpected place this, a country with two official flags, one a red, yellow and green tricolor and the other a much more handsome checkerboard. Sadly, I must move on.
Where am I?
What is the name of the market?
Who was the saint?
What is the name of the clock?
What is the name of the raptor?
What is the name of the chequered flag?
