A good lie-in this morning, we had breakfast at 8:30 am. After breakfast I proceeded to clean the bikes. Ralf had asked Jorge yesterday if it was o.k. to clean the bikes and he was expecting Ralf to do them. I explained I did it, then told him Ralf’s bike was 10 years old. Good maintenance has kept it looking good.

It took me a couple of hours to get both bikes looking good and oiled. Ralf came back from lining up at the bank and the Internet office and tightened all the nuts and bolts on the bikes. They should be good to go on Monday.

It took Ralf one and a half hours to go to two banks, and pick up a USB drive from the telephone office. They didn’t have any internet cards, a city this size and they run out of internet cards.

I was able to check my email and the bank accounts but unfortunately I was only able to update two days of the blog.

We had a little wander around the City and found a nice Chinese/Italian place to eat. After we had eaten we walked down the main commercial street and back to one of the squares where a band was setting up to play. We stopped at a little bar and had a couple of mojitos and watched the show, Cuban music and dancing, similar to what we would see at the all-inclusive resorts.

We were back at the casa for 10 pm and chatted to the owners for a while.
