Well, woken this morning by a herd of mosquito's that were getting restless. I think I've lost a pint of blood or two during the night. The pleasant people at the tannery unloaded me at high speed and all was good. The smell was atrocious obviously but hey. When I say smell I don't just mean the tannery. Last nights beer and peanut combination may have ended in a mini bowel blitzkrieg which resulted in a dash for the toilet. The toilets were disgusting so I decided to dash out again but discretion being the safer option I held my breath and bravely went back in. Needless to say, I was back out as soon as I could. Anyway, new instructions so off to meet one of the other lads to swap his loaded trailer for my empty one. After the swap it was off to somewhere near Ancona on the Adriatic coast with two JCB's. They are such a lovely shade of JCB yellow. The weather was it's usual lovely but the roads were not. Even with an air suspended seat I feel like my kidneys have taken a good kicking! So now empty it's off to my 1st collection point. Little bit of confusion here as the font of absolutely no knowledge in the office was trying to give me directions even though by his own admission he wasn't sure. He also wasn't sure if the address was in one village or the next so let's head for the 1st one and see.
It turns out that the 1st village is perched on top of a very lorry unfriendly mountain. If I'd been on my bike it would have been awesome........ but I'm not! Guess what? Wrong place!!!!! Oh well. Time for bed and see if I can get off the big hill in the morning when I head for village number 2.
