I spent some of my Easter holiday on a farm outside Cali
(I milked a cow!) and I had to get the bus back to Cali on Easter Saturday.
The journey took about an hour but it was packed with incident:
Two milk churns were secured behind the front passenger seats;
A sack of thyme was thrown on;
An older woman got on and was persuaded to get off by her hard-faced daughter:
You’ll be far too early if you go now!
They just want me to stay so I can make them their breakfasts, the older woman said.
A group of women got on but someone was missing.
Obligingly the driver reversed back so one of the women could jump off and shout to someone unseen
if they had seen their friend. But they hadn’t so we went without her.
A nurse got on and asked for a free ride for a colleague
who stood on the step so her trip wouldn’t be registered.
Good value for $5000 (£1.50).
