From the bus

We travelled by bus with driver Kailesh and his assistant Yogi. It can be a hair-raising ride on Indian roads, with livestock, other vehicles and forms of transport to contend with. Some days were short hops between our nightly accommodation and sightseeing, other days were longer, bumpier rides. However I never tired of looking out the window and took many photos of the passing parade.
Could this be Australia with the gum trees?

Lots of buffalo = lots of milk for marsala chai.
This photo is of the cow/buffalo dung patties drying, on the roof and later stacked. They will be burnt for fuel.
The trucks and tractors are decorated with tassels of pompoms and tinsel, painted and inside the truck cabs, fringing on the driver's steering wheel and the front of the cab.
