We have coverd a lot and found no internet along the south coast. Yesterday and today we have riden north from the carrabean to the gulf of mexico. We only have a few mins on this connection so will fill in the details tomorrow when we get rto a tourist area out of havana , we go to the airport Sat.

We went along the coast to the bay of Pigs. A few crabs on the road but no big exodus.
2 nights at a hotel then 3 100km days . we went inland to a dirty little town call Australia ( from the days they had big sugar mills there.. pre revolution) ate crocodile in a hot little house. the best thing for me was that we hopped into town with 2 broken spokes on Chris' bike and with the help of a clever tout called George had it fitted in 3 hrs.. lucky.

lorrin , thanks for your good management. It sounds like everything is going fine. love you all and looking forward to getting home.

Sue, Joan, Colleen, leah.. all the messages have come though . Thanks a lot. we can comment on them but not send a reply direct to you.

Sounds like you're having a blast - You sure you don't wanna go back to Coastlands Chris - what the hell have I let myself in for??!? I'd love to say I was jealous of James but 500k in not nearly enough days in that heat doesn't sound like my idea of fun......! Good on ya though mate, wish I was half as fit!

Sounds interesting
What was the crocodile like - difficult to eat? Interested in how you manage the language as in the blogs seems that you are working with the people to sort things that need sorting - from time to time. You both must be so fit. We had a great weekend in CHCH. Lovely to see the older people of the family (Esme, Maureen, Bernadette, Joan etc). Missed Lorrin and the boys not being there but understand as she must be busy. Love Helen
