Day 45 11th jan I'm awake in the early hours.... And spend a good proportion of the night sat on the loo..... Yesterday was a hot day too and I've sunburnt my noise... I look like a lobster that's sat on its thrown.... More care will be taken in the sun from now one.... In particular when we are on the bike..... We wake up and I'm still feeling dodgy so after watching Shiree eat her breakfast we wonder to the beach for an easy day..... The beach is about t...

Day 44 10th Jan We left this morning after a surprisingly noisy nights sleep considering we were on the 9th floor... Road noise travels a long way up it would appear..

Day 41 - 7th jan We wake up and have a good breakfast.... Lots of fruit.... And cereals. We have a couple of jobs to do today.... And the first one is to copy the photos from the memory card in the camera to our hard drive.... we have a computer in our room so we get to work, but something's wrong....
