Saturday 16 October. Day 78




Hooray for sunshine.

Today was the first day of complete sunshine in about a week so everyone was in good spirits. Headed out to the road around 11 am and pushed a total of 22km’s. Max joined Puddy on the road. Only for a short while though. Not falling victim to Puddy’s ‘encouragement’ Max quickly jumped ship back into the van as they approached a fast downhill. At the bottom it became evident that Max had the right idea. Puddy went on to reach a top speed of 58km/h. Not a speed a novice skater wants to challenge on a short board. However Max joined Puddy again later and skated with him all the way to the front door of the Hotel.

The session went by surprisingly fast as most of the way was riddled with smooth mellow downhill’s.

The evening was spent watching the rugby. The majority of the team are Bulls supporters with Cornell being the only Province man. An amusing evening and a great way to end a hard week.

We are closing in on our destination with only a 10 days left on the trip. The excitement is definitely starting to build up.
