Taxi!
Back to Bangladesh.... And the fairground ride that was Saturday...
With just a day to really see Dhaka, there was only one way to do it - rattling around in a three-wheeled green cage just like this.....
... for two and half hours.
All very exciting to start with.
A driver that seemed to understand Wend's instruction to drive and "do Dhaka":
The challenge of barred photography:
Friendly keyring sellers:
Unexpected glimpses of the countryside:
And some random bits of graffiti:
But then.......the heat...and the noise...and the dust...and the trousers stuck to a plastic seat. An hour and a half in, it was like being stuck on a waltzer. And everything started to blur:
As did the next hour or so - a fug of laughing, singing, straining for a familiar sign and willing the thing to stop.
Such a lovely feeling to finally get back...
...and wobble into the hotel. Still just about smiling. And the driver, just about, too:
