The Price of Bananas

While in Venezuela, Arlene and I (and others) had a passing conversation about the recent failure of the Aussie banana crop, and on how bananas were now quite expensive. I now realise she wasn't exaggerating. Bananas are $12 / kg in the local supermarket.

To put that into a slightly different context, I bought a bunch of 5, and it cost 80p per banana!

Time to find a different fruit to eat loads of...
