East Meets West

I have no words today so here’s a photo instead.

The Tuk-Tuk and the Bicycles

When you want to cross the canal on this little ferry, you have to catch the attention of the customers patronising the outdoor café (on the opposite bank) in the  hope that one of them will feel charitable and energetic enough to wind the squeaky handle that will pull the rope initiating movement across the water.  The white plastic jug suspended below the rail is for tips, should you feel so inclined.

Aahhh, those lazy, hazy, distant days of summer.
