This is a loooonnnnngggg drive...

So, on the bus, we drive for what seems like forever on a road that
shakes our spines and teeth out of all shape...

It had been raining recently, so the roads are very muddy
and very slow going through lotsa pot holes...

When we did get onto well made roads, we had very tight curves
around the mountain and some inclines that made us want to
lean forward to help the bus travel up easier...

Pot holes?
Of course.
Piles of mulch left in the middle of the road?
Of course...

People who live here just taking a walk down the road...

I did not know bananas came in red, did you?

We really have to drive over this bridge?????

Long walk up people!

Women all over the world sweeping and trying to keep a clean home...

To climb to the top of this temple, we needed to take our shoes off...

These children would take them and look after them for us, all lined up
neatly in rows...

Climbing up with smiles on...

Huge carved Buddha...

Kaylene was looking very contemplative to me...



Time to climb back down...

To the shoe guardians...

They were pretty good at remembering which shoes belonged to who
and passing them over.
We paid them pittance in our world, but they were pleased
and smiled as they would have money to take home that night...

I think I mentioned something about the green Susan was wearing and the
mould on the rock which is why she was laughing...

Her laugh makes me laugh...

We couldn't really see the famous sculptures in the water as it was
very high due to recent rain...

Naomi was surrounded by children as she came out of the trees.
She reminded me of the Pied Piper...

Very comfy chair, lots a decoration on it...

Cannot remember what was being said, and what was so funny at the time...

Denise in nana mode...

Most of us were looking forward to the hot air balloon ride
but we got there and it wasn't flying.
This stuff happens when you travel...
