I love this country

On our way to Darling on Sunday we passed a road accident. Flashing lights from a Police van alerted us, as well as the cars parked on the side of the road.
Down in a field was the vehicle, it looked to be a very old Toyota, yellow in colour, which appeared to have left the road and rolled a couple of times. In the course of it's acrobatics the crates of beer which must have been both in the boot and inside the car, had flown out, hence the spectators.
On our return - with no cake or ice cream - much to our surprise, well, no, not really, along came the accident car, traveling in quite a straight line all things considered, just crabbing a bit. The roof of the car appeared to have been beaten back into shape, although somewhat elongated. Perhaps it was like that before the crash in order to hold more beer crates.
As we once again passed the scene there was a small jolly crowd collecting beer bottles and crates.
Only in Africa!
