so much to go through so here we go, we flew out on Qatar, not much legroom but service, food etc fine, reasonably swift turnround and on to Dhaka capital of Bangladesh, not many visitors in the country,armed guards on the hotel, the Westin was central, friendly, staff fine, food good and we were there at opening of bar and Italian restaurant. Soon got to grips with the city centre, the old deckers have a central turnaround point with little space, an old chap was on anti piss duty . Had fun trying to find tickets for my friend Martin, there aren't any on the local buses , you just hand over a rather grotty little note.
Bangladesh Road transport Corporation, not the most modern or best maintained fleet,. most folk used the mini buses hence these were never full and looked pretty decrepit.
Not really sure why red blue and yellow buses, perhaps a job lot of paint, it took ages to turn each bus round, thumping on the rear , screaming for more passengers.
Very friendly crews, everyone wanted their photos taking.
It was all a bit of a squeeze at the terminus, one of the regular Ashok Leylands like those of Mumbai.continued tomorrow
