Hello, hello…

The Gorse Fox managed to get through to Cousteau-cub on the phone. It is clear that she is as excited about the impending visit as are the Silver Vixen and Gorse Fox. It was an opportunity to discuss some of the more practical issues:

“What about taxis from the hotel your place?” asked the Gorse Fox. There was a brief pause as she went on to explain “Taxis aren’t quite what you would expect – they tend to be pickups with a bench on the back or even motor bikes with a platform for the passenger”. The Gorse Fox observed that he used to ride a motor-bike but though he passed his test he never bothered having it recorded on his license. Cousteau-cub responded “License? you see 8 year olds driving motor-bike here with their families on the back”.

Looks like this trip is going to be an eye-opener.

Wait until you meet the Took-tooks....

Mopeds are driven with two, three and even seven passengers and the loads you can strap to panniers, planks strapped on the pillion and even outriggers would have our 'elf an' safey mob carried off in ardiac arrest.

Have a great time!
