After lunch, a short walk between small villages gives you the possibility to meet and talk with friendly and innocent local people. It’s great to see barefoot chubby children following their mothers to the mountains where they cultivate crops. Here, many shy children try to hide their faces behind the fences so that visitors from different cities cannot see them.
