The Main Road

Here's a picture I took from the back of a bus on the main road in Pakkred the other morning (you can see the handrail for the ladder - it's basically a truck with open sides that you can climb onto and sit along the sides facing each other...I did see one the other day that was so full that people were just perching on their toes hanging from the back of it - there must be a heck of a lot of people killed on the roads out here). As you can see (on the left of the picture) they are currently building a bridge out to an island that's just across from where we are staying...they are working on it all day every day - but I'm guessing the place is going to be a building site for my whole stay.

    Hi Paul, it's cool to see some pictures, looks alright doesn't it. I was kind of imaging a mud hut in the jungle surrounded by pygmies...but then I was never good at geography.

    Where's that lizard in the kitchen? I couldn't spot it?

    See that Kenny Miller has signed for Celtic?

    Hey Paul! The whole blog idea works great, good to see your not living in squalor.

    All those toilets in the house sounds good but they me be a sign that you're gonna need them...
