2 Old Dears........

There are two old dears on board - one looks like the queen and the other, her sister, looks like her lady in waiting. Bless them they are completely oblivious to anything or anyone around them. They are hunched over and they just put their heads down and plough throught the crowd jostling everybody out of the way. Getting on and off the bus is a constant source of entertainment. They sit down, they get up, then the one in the window seat wants to get something from the overhead compartment so the one sitting in the aisle seat has to get up and let the other one out and they're holding on for dear life as the bus is careering around corners and down hills, then the one sitting in the window has got her camera down and is trying to get a good position for a photo - an opportunity that has long past back when she was getting her camera down..... she finally realises that the thing she wanted to snap has actually disappeared and the dance is continued in reverse - back she shuffles up the aisle back to her seat, the camera goes away up in the overhead compartment.... and so on! It is like an accident (waiting to happen) you can't look away! You could hear the muffled voices around us saying "For God's sake - Sit the hell down!" We probably missed quite a bit of lovely scenery just watching these two old dears!
