backlog of photos until I’d had enough then joined Rob and we watched some crap South American TV! We wanted an early night as we’d booked a 3 hour horse riding trip for the morning and needed to be ready by 9 a.m.

The horses were obviously well cared for although I felt that they could have had their manes and tails brushed! But really they
