Valhalla, sailingyacht (4)

As soon as we arrive at Chichime women in Kayukas (dugout canoes) come to our boat. The women have brought a lot of handicraft with them. All the shirts, scarves and bags have Mole. This is a typical decoration technique. Most of them are colorful patches with abstract figures or animal figures. Most of the women have short hair, many times covered with a bright red scarf. Around their legs they wear long strings of beads in all different colors.
