Well, it’s over, for now… and all we have to do is hang out here for a day, and then take various flights tomorrow, to return us to our respective homes! We all met in the evening – just the VCR party, 11 of us – for a fabulous meal

After a truly dreadful breakfast, I went to the gig early with John. This is the worst kit so far. The tom sizes are 10″, 12″ and then 18″! The difference in sizes was almost impossible to hide, even with judicious tuning! The rest of the kit is OK, although

Up and out at 5.15am. I ended up spending less than 6 hours in the Hotel Presidente! We are all feeling more than a little the worse for wear.. with two early morning starts and high altitude. None more so than David Osborn, who looked like he had not slept

Breakfast was a massive affair…. I pigged out….. Just as well, today’s drive is the longest by far! Sadly, we had to leave really early, because the hospitality was wonderful! We all piled into the trusty steed and set off, more than a little reluctant. And a long journey it

We all got up early…. and left the “hotel” as early as possible. By 9am, we were sitting in a Little Chef on the main road out of town, waiting for breakfast. We are following Alan in his Volvo wagon, back to Glasgow, so he can drop it off, then
