We made it after 30 hours of flying , we were shattered and after a good nites sleep we are ready to rumble . On one leg of the trip I sat between two fat arsed lesbians from the US, they were great fun and made that leg quite quick

It was strange last nite to be trying to go to bed with the sun just going down around 11.30pm so out come the sleeping pills and eye masks and all was good for a good sleep , we woke around 8.30am to a little rain and very overcast.

The Photo is where we are staying The Arctic Adventure Hostel a nice little place and only $47us a nite . Joe the owner gave us two huge pieces of Salmon for Dinner and they were yummy, what great start .

So after Brekie we were off to get the bike it was only about 10 mins away at the DHL Storage , so we break into the Crate and there it is , all of it (the crate had not been opened at all ). Next to put it back together and with me rehearsing Righty Tighty Lefty Loosie we attacked it and in all no problems all but one . I was trying to jack the bike up to get the front tyre in when I thought , if I let one of the back tie downs off it will make it a bit easier . Well next thing the bike is falling over with no front wheel, but no problem Ruth through herself at the bike and with Super human strength and she managed to put herself between the bike and the ground thus saving the bike from any damage and very Lucky none to herself as well (what a women ah! I'm such a lucky man ) .Anyway I got a guy to help and we got the bike and Ruth up and we were on our way, riding on the wrong side of the road being the right side of the road (bloody hell raising in town ). So tomorrow we will just have a good look around town and then off to Seward the next day .
