Budget Transporation

ak. It was a routine, rather uneventful day at the hospital, so the afternoon was spent buying supplies in Nakuru. En route, this family was spotted. At quick glance, they seemed rather comfortable. Who needs a station-wagon or minivan when you have a motorcycle? I'm not familiar with Kenyan road laws, but since 3+ passengers on one motorcycle is a relatively common sight, one must wonder whether motorcycle passenger limit laws even exist or if they're simply weakly enforced. Either way, with soaring fuel costs, perhaps the motorcycle is the station-wagon or minivan of the future!
