Today was a chore day. Buy some groceries, get some welding done on the rear carrier (again!!) and pickup the washing that we left at a laundry last Friday. The last of these turned into a bit of a drama as the laundry did not open, even though we called back there a number of times. We started contemplating the possibility that we would never get our clothes back. Nina was particularly concerned about this as almost all of her under wear was in the load. Eventually we got some relief as we discovered that today was a public holiday San Pedro day. These guys in Peru seem to have a public holiday every second day. We will not know for sure if this is the reason for the closure until tomorrow.
