We had a dream, run getting back though the confussing city roads . Ferry across the habour at Havana. Then connected up with Freddy who had our stored packaging and extra clothes. We had our doubts how this was all going to work. Shouting out in streets with nobody home.

We sorted him out with a fair rent to hang out and clean and break down the bikes. Thunderstorms rolled through all afternoon and we we out for dinner, cofee to try and fill in the time as our flight was at 3am. 5 hrs at Havana airport. Afew hours sleep in the 1st 8 hr flight. Jim as to get back on in 8 hrs but can have a shower and rest at my
Santiagio looks like a >Euproean city , so different from our 1st impressions now we have been in Cuba.

Kia ora Körua Amazing hearing of your adventures. In your note yesterday I believe it was the first time I heard that you wern't so sure about Cuba. Up to that point I thought you were loving it. Must be so tiring tho. Can't wait to see the photos and hear about the people encounters. Life goes on here in Welly. Dave came down for a night from Taupö. First time since the opening of the business. He seems a bit down about it all at the moment. Too reliant on punters buying coffee of course. And he is exchausted. Piata is cool. This fri night Piata and I staying with Fion and Leah. Sat I am getting a ride to Taupö. I will collect P on Sun afternoon from Leahs. Dad finds out more about his health on Fri. A day of tests. He is very philosophical at the moment. Much love you both. Heading home on my bike now. Just a short ride ha ha Joan

You made it
It must be amazing travelling post Cuba. I know there was a loss of photos but really looking forward to seeing your collection and hearing of your travels. Have you both lost weight - not that either of you would want to have or needed too. I just can not imagine the temperature and mileage you both achieved. Lots of love Helen
