Rickshaws, elephants and Indore - the photos

Here are some of the photos that I have taken- not the best medium to share a large number of pictures and obviously this are a sample of many, but hopefully you will get a sense of what I see...
A typical roundabout in Indore. All types of traffic. 
On the streets of Indore
Hardly inconspicuous...
Notice something here a little out of the ordinary?
Owning the street
Streets of Indore
Standing outside of our hotel, here is our view
Pink rickshaws
Streets of Indore
Slight obstacle course to get to the shop front
  Can you see what I see?
The streets of Indore
Greg waving back as those passing by say hello and wave to us
Shop front in Indore
Shops in Indore
Typical mix of traffic
Not a place I'd like to break down. Kels- you need your RAA here!
The men were often asked to shake hands with the locals
Whole families on bikes are common. We have seen up to 6 people on a bike so far.
Paul taking a photo of the family and then showing the cute little boy up front what he looks like
The whole family
Work from home opportunities exist everywhere
Scooting around with a bird in a cage
The elephant collects the tip and the owner climbs over the front to take it
The view outside of my bedroom window. Look at the holes in the wall to allow for ventilation.

    1. I love India! There have been so many nice realisations, rather than surprises. Things have been very comfortable, the people have been kind and no major culture shocks thus far :)
