At the end of a somewhat inadequate dinner, the rather overbearing proprietor of the above mentioned establishment made an inappropriately comical entry, and announced that breakfast would be served from 7.30. The latest we ever start a day's ride is at first light, and tomorrow we are planning a 5am start. When the race director asked if an earlier arrangement could be made, he turned his head to one side, and said: "I doubt it!"
Over the last few days we have trekked over poverty-stricken areas, and people have been incredibly generous and accomodating. Now when we get to a place that should be able to provide a high level of service, they just don't care!
