Time to go back to 2004. So what did happen to the keys.

When Josh and I were riding through Africa we had some great times and some very challenging times.  One afternoon in Malawi it was getting really late as we headed south to Llongwe.  It was getting very late, the sun had gone down and we seriously needed to get off the road or we'd be road kill.  We followed the power lines and eventually landed in this small town and the Ayuda Luxury Motel.  This is what you call a brick shithouse. We were really starving and needed to get some food into us as we still had another 165ks to go the following day.  We went to the restuarant and asked for chicken, NO, then we asked for potato, NO, all they had were 2 eggs. 

We walked up into town and bought some beautiful hot chips and sat on some bags and watched the boys kicking the ball around. When we got back to the shithouse, the music was full blast and the place was full of locals drunk as skunks.  For the next 4 hours we tried to sleep with the music hitting 300000000 decibells.  Time to go out and tell the barman to turn the music off.  Not a good idea.  The barman told us that since the locals were buying drinks and making him money the beer will continue to flow and the music stays on.  Eventually we fell to sleep at about 2am.  Then all hell breaks loose.  This dickhead in his truck decides to turn his diesel truck on and warm it up for 1 hours before leaving for the days work.  We had no sleep and had a long way to go before we finally got our rest day.

So the photo below is Josh leaving the Ayuda Luxury Motel in a rush.  I asked Josh why the rush, slow down, I'm old, relax we're on holidays. Josh told me that because the barman was an absolute asshole he decided to get the key to our room and slide it back under the door.  Now that's going to take sometime to get out.  They only had one key.  Also we inherited another mosquito net after having one stolen earlier on in the holiday. 

Later that year Josh went on to win the Australia Road Titles in Queensland.  The photo below is Josh crossing the line well ahead of the chasing bunch.
