Paddling in the Pacific

Well its been a bit of a slow day.  Lots of anticipation and little to show for it.  The original plan was that customs would be carrying out the soil check on the bikes this morning, then it was 1pm.  We were all put on standby to go and pick the bikes up at 2.30 when we received a text to say that customs hadn't done the checks yet and won't now do it until tomorrow.  Disappointment all round and at a loss as to how to kill the afternoon.

We now have most of the group with us.  The latest picture from the bar (its always in the bar) shows everyone except Dave who arrives tomorrow and Ian, our van man who must have disappeared for 10 minutes as for some reason he's not in the shot.

Barbara, Gary, John, Sam, Marion, Leighton, Paul, Tony, Andy, Jackie, Craig

After dinner four of us decided to go paddling in the Pacific.  At the end of the trip we will go paddling in the Atlantic. 


Nothing else to add today.  Hopefully pictures of bikes tomorrow subject to customs bothering to turn up to do their job.
