Travelling by bus

Pushkar, 17-12-1993. Travelling by bus in India is certainly not to be missed. For those with long legs it can be a bit uncomfortable but the many chai stops offer ample opportunity t6o stretch one s legs. These stops offer other things to apart from chai, old women with kids dressed in rags asking for baksheesh, leprosy infected stumps that were once real hands and arms, come through the bars of the bus windows begging for a couple of rp. Overcrowded buses force you to sit on the where the views are better but you have to watch out for tree brances and the inevitable telephone- and electricity wire.
