A nice relaxing start to the day at the Quarry Lodge. Hot breakfast, newspaper, nothing on the agenda. Terrific. One article in the newspaper was telling of Africa:
Daily Dispatch, 24 April: CAPE TOWN Traffic officials discovered 25 schoolchildren crammed into a 1986 Toyota Cressida station wagon they stopped in a routine check in Khayelitsha this week, the traffic services division said yeasterday. The driver was charged for overloading the vehicle by 10 passengers, and for not having a driver’s licence.
I think we saw this overlaoded vehicle on the highway – it passed us! It looked to be the norm where the children would otherwise have to walk.
Brendan said that maybe the teacher didn’t show up on the day of the plane outing - and the kids improvised, deciding to go on the schooltrip themselves – drawing straws to see who drove!
