Despite having to catch the bus at 12:20am, I can thankfully say that I have no need for another rant. It was still a pretty awful journey; we couldn't get a seat together, they played music all night and a force fed child threw up everywhere. It has to be said though that, perhaps through exhaustion, we did at least get some sleep.
Arriving back in East London at just after 11am, we went to get some lunch, checked back into the hostel and arranged to go and pick up the bikes. Kindly the hostel owner gave us a lift to the bikes, which saved us a taxi ride.
As it turned out, any concerns we may have had about our gear proved to be unfounded. It is difficult not to feel protective over our bikes, they have been our constant companions for such a long time! Everything had been safely stored in the garage and after fixing yet another puncture in my front tyre, we were heading back to the hostel.
A quick trip to the supermarket has been pretty much the extent of our exertions for the rest of the day. We have a shortish day ahead of us tomorrow and then ride onwards to meet up with Larry and Sharon (we met in Egypt) for New Years.
