No bike, so not much to report...

A full day off, without my bike as it's at the dealer's being serviced and fitted with new tires.

Despite which, I still woke early and managed a quick chat with Tracy before heading down for breakfast. The rest of the day was spent seeing to a few chores (haircut, getting a box to send stuff I don't need back home, trying to sort my online bank out and getting locked out of the account), and then relaxing by the pool, chatting to a few of the others and generally chilling out. I also arranged a curry night for any that were interested, researching the best Indian restaurants in Tucson on the Internet before selecting the New Delhi Palace, then arranging taxis to take us there. The food was good, considering Tucson does not benefit from a large Asian community in the way Royton does... but it was a proper curry at least...

Then it was back to the hotel for a nightcap before hitting the sack. So, nothing much to report, perhaps tomorrow will be a little more exciting from a blog perspective, as it's our last “free” night in Tucson (Friday doesn't count as we need to be ready to roll at 6am on Saturday morning...).

Comments:
Tires? when did you turn into an American?
 
As these black round rubber things were bought in America, and fitted by an American, they're called "tires"...

Though they do bear a striking resemblance to the set of tyres I had fitted before leaving the UK...

Next, Spanish blog entries...

Adios!
