Now I wonder if you have ever seen a road sign like this?
We were traveling towards a farm at the base of the mountain as I heard of a wine estate that was worth visiting there. It is so great to visit close to the mountains as the air is pure and very healthy.
So as we cruised along we encountered the sign next to the road.
Come and see.
You can see the sign in front of the tree on the left hand side of the road.
As we got closer I could read it, but we could not see any sign of Guinea fowls. Until we crested that hill.
As we crossed over the hill into a dip, this guy sat shouting at us;
Slow down, slow down, my wives are ahead.
Then he gave us a look like one of the football managers do in the EPL, to see if we obeyed his warning :)
Another guy popped out from the bush into the road and I think his intent was to stop and fine us if we were speeding. But no need as we were driving along very sedately.
Ah! There the ladies were coming up the side of the road in single file. They normally arrange their line according to beauty and the one in the lead is top Guinea Fowl Contest model :)
I was so sure that they were discussing us as they slowed for a chat. No idea what the discussion was about, as they were a bit too far for me to hear their whispers. Ladies normally whisper when they want to chat about confidential things :)
Now I have seen Zebra crossings and we know that they were adopted by mankind as road crossings for pedestrians. They are the white lines in the roads and many drivers over here do not know that they have to stop when a pedestrian is crossing the road on a Zebra crossing. So you take your life into your hands when you cross the road on a designated Zebra crossing.
There are a wide range of other road signs, but it was a first for us to see a Guinea Fowl road sign.
Especially one manned by a guinea fowl traffic officer with a loud voice.
Just our crazy life of care over here.
And That's All Friends.
