But its quite funny actually (at least seen from our point of view) since neither me; nor Mily, noticed anything at all of what happened because we sat on the bus at the time ...
And believe you me this really proves the point regarding the state of the roads here. Going into town and back from here is just so extremely bad + bumpy that we never even noticed what happened around us.
