Tom, Mike and myself go for a cycle down South Sound road the following day...	...	What is left of the rugby club and squash courts	Spotts Bay - "Safe Harbour", when things are rough in George Town Harbour.	A few days before, you wouldn't have been able to see the sea alongside the road for all the palm trees and mangroves - and the road definately didn't look like this - it was a popular route for cyclists.
...	...after about an hour of cycling which should only take 15 minutes, we arrived at one of two shopping centres where they were handing out food and water...que was to long to wait...	...as was this one!	Luckily, we had plenty of provisions. Enjoying sunset from the 4th floor...	...
