EXCITING NEWS

We have bikes at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its like the best things since sliced bread! Another story of Jah looking after us. We have been stuffing round about what to do about getting bikes since we got here. While we were staying with our brothers we used their bikes, that was great, but we have now moved. We walked everywhere yesterday and thats how you go crazy here, Its tooooooo hot to be doing that!

People had told us about this second hand place you can buy bikes, so we look and cant find it, we ask locals and they have never heard of it. So we ask the brothers again, yeah its down there by the mango tree bla bla, you know how directions go round here. So we look again, still nothing!

We think well we will just have to buy new ones. They cost $200 each and then you need to buy a basket for the front so you can carry your bags etc. Me and my stingy self dont want to pay that so Im putting it off. Anyway we had to do something, so Saturday afternoon we go into town to a place that was recommend to us and its closed. Very strange for this time of day and week. So we go back Sunday morning and its still closed. What, we think, this is weird! We will have to wait until next week now. Anyway while out on a study Dave tells the sister about our bike dramas and she says why dont you get one from that second hand place! Daves like yeah but it doesnt exist. She said yeah it does I'll take you there. So she does and now we have bikes.
The funny part, is he is in fact a bike repair guy and doesnt normally sell bikes. He just so happens to have a ladies bike and a guys bike available today no other bikes at all! How cool was that? Better though is that he will sell them BOTH for $200 yay two for one, hand em over! He will fix them if we have any problems and is a great guy. He even gave me mangos. Oh yeah and when we leave he said that he would buy them back if they were still in good condition!

Awesome, thank you Jah, again!!!!
