Corbett Tiger Reserve

It was about a 6 hour drive to Corbett, but never a dull moment driving through rural India, every time you look out the window, there is some more mind blowing than the last.
if I am ever thinking that my job is hard, you only have to check out the women with massive bales of sugar cane, or 4 metre logs on their heads to realise that it isn;t really so bad.
We saw a water buffalo carts full of about school kids on their way to school, and 3 wheel rickhsaws with more people on it than should be possible.

The women work really hard here, the men seems to stare a lot, probably at us because we are weird whities( though I was asked by the Delhi ladies how I kept my skin so delightfully pale).but it is the women who do a lot of the grunt work, there is always a small group of women with a pile of bricks on their heads, or pilig together cow poo to make bricks and ... something - not really sure what the cow poo thing is all about - in fact the cow thing is a mystery. They just wander around everywhere eating garbage and pooing - I guess that it what you get to do when you are holy!
