To market in Bandarawela

In the tea country, the town of Bandarawela has a big fruit and vegetable market every Sunday morning.

















There were a lot of things that we have never seen before! So here is a little quiz: can you name (in English or, if you know it, in Sinhala), the following fruits/veggies?
Whoever gets the most right will win an incredible Beasley-Taylor Family World Adventure prize upon our return!
