Things will soon be straightened out though I'm sure and you'll feel better when you're back on the road for definite. Good to hear from you yesterday by the way, the call was great. Me and our mother were watching the new Podcast at the time (needless to say she was crying), so it was a bit of a coincidence you called then. You'll have to let us know when plans for the next leg of the trip develop and what will be happening at Christmas. Been checking out the Flickr pictures on a regular basis as well. They're all excellent! Keep them all coming. See you soon, Ben Definitely a disasterous turn of events bro, not really what you need especially when you’re trying to cycle round the world!
