We’re well-rested, well-fed and well-informed (lots of news and gossip) after spending just over a week with our friends and family.

Our re-start of the tour has been delayed because Ken put his back into spasm a couple of days ago; he was giving the bikes a good clean, de-greasing and re-greasing the chain and gears.  After a couple of hours bending down he found that he couldn´t straighten up and it´s not easy to ride a bike with a painful back.  We´ve got our fingers crossed that it won´t be troublesome once we get going.
