DAYS ON THE ROAD




Nearly 85 hours of traveling on the bus in one month...



Blue skies and cartoon clouds...

The perfect horizon...

green trees, bushes and grazing cattle...

Plain white cows, goats, pigs, horses...

long grass....no grass...

leaves blowing in the wind...wildflowers..

Weather changing...hot...cold...

Palm trees, leafless sticklike trees and no cattle...

Neverending flat yellow plains, occasional rolling hills...

long staight infinite narrow pathed roads...bumpy dirt roads...

Giant ant hills that look like big piles of poo...

Big rig trucks, road signs, no passing...

Graves...


Petrol stations, pee breaks...

dirty bathrooms...

toilet paper...

hand sanitizer...

snacks, junkfood...pretzels are a luxury.

peanut butter is scarce...but there is plenty of dulce de leche!!!

cookies, coffee, lots of icecream...

hotdogs, coleslaw, bland pasta, ham n cheese on dry bread...

need an occasional good meal n a big chunk of meat...eat a big chunk of meat...yummmmmmmmmm.

Stail cornflakes...

cucumber, lettuce, tomato...


Fight for seats on the bus...

complaining Jane...

Sore ass...

Moldy books...

Sleeping on the bus, on the floor...

Dirty windows, dusty seats..

loud music...

Sore back...

ticks..

Camping in a puddle...

lumpy grass...

night time running adventures looking for animals n dead bodies...

cooking...

alergies...

chopping veggies...

peeing by trees...

running through wet cement...

Bush camp, hard ground, wet sleepn bags, up at 6am....

padlocks, cold shower, no shower, truck clean...

Hostels....da dun dun.
