Why are we stopping here, asked Aria. ( my guide, driver and friend )
To have coffee and maybe lunch, I said.
But we just had breakfast, and it is only 0900 hrs.
Well in that case, I said, we just sit, relax and watch.
But you came here to take photographs, we are wasting time, protested Aria.
No, I said. I came to learn, have fun and take photographs. Why don't you take some photos of the ladies Aria. I taught you how to use the camera.
Aria went away with the camera, none too happy.
We had lunch. Let's go Aria, I said. Where? Hotel, I said. I am tired.
But we did not take any pictures today. A day wasted, he said.
No, I said. I learnt a lot Aria. In three hours, 25 cars stopped here. Their guides parked their cars. Everyone got out. Walked about. Took photos.
So, Aria, this is not the place for me to take photos of the rice fields from.
Tomorrow, we shall find another place, where we do not have cars stopping..
except ours. And Aria, I shall sleep in the back now.
