It was Youth Day and we had a long weekend.
Everybody was getting out, the highway was in shutdown.

Later that night, we took a double-up (short-cut).

It was a long day on the back of the bakkie.

Is the bakkie the name of the vehicle or the tray on the back? In Australia these vehicles are called utes (short for utility vehicle). I love how every country has its own take on these useful vehicles.
I love seeing your country through your photographs with the personal touches.
Thanksm, Jodie!
It's the name of the vehicle, because of the tray in the back (the "bak"). Here we call all LDV's up to 3t a bakkie, bigger than that it becomes a truck or lorry. Utes like you have are also slowly making their way here. On our return from Aus in 2006 I saw the fist General Motors (Holden) utes here (Devil Yellow, I remember!) and also the industrial ones with aluminium-type trays. But the ones like in the photo far outnumber them.
