Driving to school


On Monday morning I went for the long trek to school with the kids and Victor, I decided to take the camera along and get a few snaps of the NORMAL things we see every day.
This is a major Toll Way being constructed, Victor tells me no cows will be allowed on the road when it is finished. Yippee! We take this road to and from school everyday.

A temple on the side has been constructed for a Hindi Festival this month.

Just a few motor bikes and auto's, Monday mornings are extremely busy on the road.

Check out the lean on the bus and the cows lying in the middle of the road.

How many more Indians can you fit on the back of a small truck??

Waiting to catch the bus, don't they look lovely in their white uniforms? Imagine the washing!


A HUGE hole they have dug right in the middle of the Highway. No safety rails here.


Fast asleep on the way home from the market. Comfy heh. Victor said to the kids after seeing these men " School is very good, you go far, not like this!" Fair comment from our very wise driver

Wow! What entertaining trips to school you have. Quite a difference to Sixways! To think I curse Forest Rd most mornings! Your ears must have been burning Megs. I was chatting to DP and CW tonight and we were wondering when your next publication would be. Little did we know that you were hard at it compiling your next blog! Great effort Megs. Hi to all the Purds. Love Kath
