Fishing trips and a dickheaded, dangerous horse
... guy who booked it was there asked how it went, I told him what happened and he asked what colour mine was. It turned out we had the same horse when he'd done a trip and she'd done exactly the same thing to him, slow on the road, mental on the beach, except he'd actually fallen off and hurt himself.

Now it's time for some shopping in Managua!

Bienvenidos en la Casa Verde
... de canapés et les premières décorations pour la fête à venir, premier événement d'envergure pour la bande, ajoutent une touche
d'improbabilité au tableau.
L'ambiance est... particulière, commec'est souvent le cas lorsque les groupes sont déjà formés (entre les locaux et la petite dizaine d'Argentins traversant le continent américain dans trois voitures : une 4L, une Impala et un van - sur le thème des "Déchets" - déjà en place depuis quelques jours).
