Fresh air taxi

After our "escapade" with the law, we were left at a bus stop waiting to get to Salinas.



We caught the first form of "public" transport that would take us there which was a collectivo (pretty much a shared taxi but a in this case a shared ute).



There was a school girl waiting for the truck as well. When it arrived, the people sitting in the front made some room for Gwen as they saw she had the baby.



I went around the back with the school girl to climb onto the back. It covered so I only realised how full it was once I saw inside. There were 4 men already inside as well as a schoolboy. Also there were 2 crates of what looked like tofu but I presume was a cheese.



The girl climbed inside and sat on the rear edge of the trailer. I couldn't do the same as there was someone in the way. I assumed they might make some room for me but the truck started to roll off.



So I did what I could only do. Hop onto the bumper and hang on for the ride!

Luckily I didn't have to stay in that spot for the entire ride. Just for 15 minutes and then I was able to half sit inside and eventually get all the way in once the men got out - some old farmers that were playing a drinking game while they waited to get home!
