Not much of an update on this day! It was a day off the bike to rest the legs and do some chores. Just one of those days you need when long distance bike touring.
Rest day in Flores
Oliver and myself decided that a day off was probably the best course of action, given the hard cycling of the previous day. Although a day off on a cycle tour is never a day of doing nothing!
After breakfast, we caught a tuk-tuk to the main township of St. Elena where there was a half decent supermarket. Having bought a few days food, it was back into a tuk-tuk again.
Other jobs included the lavandaria, bus tickets for Tikal, the internet, and a thorough bike clean and service.
