It's our last day in the UK before our early morning flight tomorrow to San Jose via Madrid. With almost two years of planning having gone before, recent days have absolutely flown by and the trip is now petrifyingly close.
The last 24 hours have been spent grappling with important questions such as the latest political situation in Honduras, the potential onset of Hurricane Ida, and whether to take one pair of pants or two.
A combination of nerves, fear, excitement and anticipation have produced a phenomenal yet unpredictable drive towards, on the one hand, frantic packing, re-packing, list-making and checking; and on the other, a crushing desire just to sack it all off and get really, really pissed instead.
Ive been (more or less...) tee-total since august as part of my training regime (brought to an abrupt end by teagate-kneegate - see below), so luckily Ive managed to supress the swing towards the latter. With just a few hours to go before we leave I've therefore been adjusting and re-adjusting my newly-purchased robocop-esque knee support and reviewing our route. Conclusion: my knee hurts and it's a really long way.
This will be our last post until we arrive, so until then.... adios. Please keep in touch, leave comments if you can, and we'll be blogging/tweeting/ringing for help as soon as we're able.

Interesting fact to remember..... Costa Rica is the only country NOT to have an army or any military.

YOU ARE CYCLING IN A KNEE BRACE? Is this wise?
ReplyDeleteOh where are you boys?
Don't cycle too fast. There is a lot of flooding in San Salvador and San Vincente
