Our Destiny

Hi,

Spent today with a sore head from the local mould wine type drink signing autographs for local kids at the sportsground where all the bikes are kept until they are ready to leave. Apparently we were on TV here so the 80 kids that were there doing sport just mobbed the 10 or so of us with paper and pens...I waited 36 years for that moment, was over it after about 10 though!
Played football the rest of the day against a bunch of kids that challenged us and murdered them surprisingly although i havent seen Peru in the world cup now i come to think of it.

Showing my age but have to say the children here are much happier and more appreciative of much less than at home. They were genuinely loving the fact that they had a biro scribble on a scrap piece of paper from us even though they hadnt seen me personally before and probably hadnt seen the news either...

Didnt get the green light we wanted to set off from the authorities so spent the day playing football with the local kids and giving them lifts around the ground i the mototaxis...

Hopefully we will be on the way tomorrow

Lloyd (G) & James (T) pit them selves against india in this epic dash across the entire length of country. taking in Jungle, coast lines, cities and the foothills of the Himalayas!! what have they got themselves into here? With a NO bribe policy and an ever so mild disregard for driving enforcement this adventure is going to be a learning curve and smiling nicely while nodding enthusiastically. We will be taking on all India has to offer, in return we'll be taking Cricket and gin and tonic. this have never failed an englishman and we wont be letting the side down on this occasion!

Will they come back?
