It was back on with still damp clothes in the morning, which is always a bit rubbish, but at least the temperature wasn’t too cold as I left Limon. It had rained heavily all night, and into the morning, so I had waited until 08.30 before setting off in order for the rains to stop. There seems to be a cut off point where the sun gathers a little strength which stops the rains in the morning. Not that the sky cleared any, and it remained a cloudy, misty day as I exited Limon on a dirt road, which went uphill for the next 12 km.

Half hour in, a the wheel fell off my Bob Yak trailer, which could have been a lot worse if I had been going with any speed downhill. It must have just been jarred loose, as it didn’t cause any more problems once I fitted it back on. Progress was slow as I crawled up the dirt road which was suffering a bit due to the heavy rains. Along the way, I was stopped by an Ecuadorian film crew, who wanted to interview me. That’s the second time this has happened to me this trip! This time around, the interview was in Spanish though, which kind of had me wishing that I was a bit more fluent than I am. Still, the Ecuadorian viewing public will be so overwhelmed by my beauty that they will barely hear the words anyway (Yeaahhh !)
