from memory it were a 3 point turn, with about 300mm or less between the bumper of the bus & the wall... Them drivers earned their money!

nice shots - somewhere I have some similar, on film.

Our guide said that we were lucky, due to the drought (it hadn't rained for 2 days), the mozzies had disappeared.
