Never mind getting attacked by banditos or run over by a truck, today's biggest challenge was packing my own bike without putting myself in hospital. In the early morning gloom I failed to secure one of the bungees properly on the BOB trailer. It promptly came flying off and nearly took my eye out! Consequently I've been nursing a sightless eye all morning. All I can see is a white fog in the my right eye - which is a little concerning as it's hard to focus on the road without binocular vision. But I've had a similar thing happen before and I think it'll pass. Basically the the eyeball swells temporarily from the trauma, preventing a properly focused image being projected onto the retina (a bit like a movie projector being out of focus). So fingers x'd things will improved later today...

oh, man, jason! my favorite part of this video is "that would definitely mean game over for the expedition for a while." characteristic dry humour. :)
