Gremlins and admin

I've managed to fix the paypal button on the right off the blog.  Don't know why it wasn't working.  Problem is no-one's donations came through (except for Begona, thanks),  could you guys please check your accounts and try again?  Thanks.

Still cant get the spot widget to work properly.  Will keep on trying.

Had a really hard day today, did just more than 700km in the worst heat ever.  It was 31deg C, by 10:30 this morning along the coast.  In the afternoon I went through the mountains which was 10 times worse.  Not even a slight breeze to cool things down.  It was so hot that the scenery started to look like it was loosing its colour.    My bike overheated a couple of times and I couldn't go much faster than 90-100 km/h.  Very worrying, am sure the desert is going to be a lot hotter.  So I literary spend the whole day in the saddle.  And am definitely feeling worse for wear. Cold shower, dinner and a beer does help.  Amazing scenery again though.  Especially at the end off the day when I came down the plateau towards Motril (just east of Malaga).  Just the most phenomenal green valleys nestled between huge, barren cliffs with a lakes scattered in between.

Plan for tomorrow is to go down to Tariffa, and have a days break.  I need to have a look at the bike and shed some weight before I hit Africa.
