Overloaded

I have seen up to 5 people on a single honda at one time. Granted two of them were children- but still three were adults. Amy and Meghan experienced another part of African life while they were here. Unfortunately they didn't experience too many public transport rides (or fortunately for them I guess). It is standard to have 7-8 people in a regular 5 seater car. For a 7 passenger van it is quite common to have at least 12-14. One trip I took from Mattru there were 15 of us already in the vehicle when the driver pulled over to add one more. I was sure we were full- but there is always room for one more I guess. One evening found a large group of us in town all looking for honda's to get home. Our friend Rainny had his honda with him and it was decided (I think for him by the other guys) that he would take both Amy and Meghan with him. I am not sure who enjoyed this more- Rainny having the opportunity to escort two beautiful girls through town home- or Sorba who you can see watching them in the photo.
