enjoyed your JBR - just reading it heightened my excitement levels for my up-coming trip on October 9th, as I am expecting (hoping) my holiday will be a lot like yours.
I know what you mean about the bikes - I hopped on the back of one on my last trip - only a very short ride but I was terrified - I kept reminding the driver that I was not a 'small' girl, and that my knees (and backside) stuck out a lot further than his, and were therefore at greater risk of being struck by a passing car/truck/pole etc. He was very kind and reassured me that I would be okay because he would just go slow - I never did figure out quite how that was really going to help when I was side-swiped by a truck, but there you go !! LOL
