Although lives are busy, seven days a week, there is time for fun with children- this baby is loaded into Rosie's bicycle basket! |
A tro-tro- on the main road in Zebilla, loading up ready to go to Bolga. All excess cargo- including the goats, is piled onto the roof. |
The tro constitutes the regular bus service between Zebilla and its neighbouring towns of Bawku to the east and Bolga to the west.
Vans wait until they are full- meaning carrying up to twenty passengers- although small children and live fowls are not counted as such. En route they will frequently either break down, or need a change of tyre, the drivers efficiently doubling as mechanics. The tarmac road between Zebilla and Bolga is in a poor state, each vehicle picking out its own best way around the potholes using the full width and the rough tracks at the sides.
