We did some computer
work in the morning and left for La Serena about 11. We stopped at
Bridgestone to see if we could get the back wheel (the spare we have
put on) balanced. We spent 3 hours there talking and planning etc.
the short of it is they can take the damaged tyre and do an emergency
repair and put a tube in it. We need to come back tomorrow at 9 to
have the front wheels balanced as the back vibrations get absorbed …… apparently
Booked into the
hotel and parked around the back which made us feel less conspicuous. Had a quick lukewarm shower then went out for a basic
lunch. The Hotels seafood restaurant is not open on Mondays. John
had a short nap then set up the room for the teleconference. His meeting started at 6.30pm so
I uploaded some photos and watched a movie then off to sleep. John
joined me about 01.30am
