During the next four weeks the adventure escalates to a new level. Another state, another climate. The heat is extreme! It is even too hot in the shade. The fortunate surround the juice cart seeking a liquid respite. Vegetable carts bake in the sun with hessian sacks covering the produce as best as possible, but nothing lasts past a day. There’s the smell of rubbish fermenting in the hot sun. Some shops are closed, but most are still open as people are forced to get on with life. The dust and pollution rises to toxic levels, narrow laneways become high traffic areas, bikes dart here and there with their horns declaring ‘Out of the way, I’m coming through!’
