Bullock Cart

I've seen bullock cart on the street, not very often but its unique enough to tease my curiousity and got me wondering how it feels like to ride like those boys steering the bullocks. Since then I've been wanting to get on a bullock cart and finally i've got the opportunity to do so when i went on a short vacation.

It was really fun be on the cart. As for the seat, it wasnt the typical ones where you gotta sit on the plank wood of the wooden cart, instead the seat was much more comfortable ; cushioned "chair" were provided for those who ride on it. The cart were fitted with lil ruffled curtains to sort of beautify the cart and also to shade those riding in it.  The ride was rather short, despite that the feeling of riding the cart will definitely be one unforgettable experience. 

 

It was really fun to look out to the street when the bullocks pulled the cart. When both bullocks moved simultaneously, it was a lil imbalance in the back seat but that was the best feelin ever! It gave me the opportunity to feel the exact same feeling and experience the exact same motion those lil boys experienced when they guided their cart on the street in my hometown.

Our guide wasnt very chatty. Perhaps he's the quiet type. Even in the back seat where we were seated, we weren't exactly chatty as well, i suppose we were tryin to absorb all that we were feelin at that moment. I know that i was smiling and feelin really happy throught that short journey. At the end of the ride, i got the not-so-chatty guide to pose for me. He even smiled at the camera but too bad i was too slow to capture that smile!
