Instead of a car wash there was a bike wash in this bike shop – would like to have such a service at home! Thanks to Benilio for tightening the chains and supplying us with new kick stands for the bikes!

Julie’s back tire exploded – it had also had enough of the rain! Luckily it was just a few hundred meters walk before we found a roof under which to shelter and repair it – let’s say this was no ordinary shower!
Would you believe that this was the first of 3 flat tires in 2 days and after 2,500km/1,500miles + almost the entire tire profile is gone.
Martin, the VW Microbus fan, spotted a garage that repaired oldies. We ended up camping in the yard behind courtesy of Patrick, Nick and Tracey. Patrick innovatively created a new stand for Julie (who had already broken two!) by bending & welding a steel pipe with some precision – this one is not gonna break!
