After spending the morning trying to find the Canadian embassy and running errands, we got news that our buggies had arrived, although they "exploded" was the message. Curtis and I headed to the airport, fingers crossed that all the buggy parts would be there.
The boxes had major rips, but from a quick look, everything seemed to be there. However our next challenge was to clear customs. Luckily Bernard who drove us to the airport was there to help, arguing back and forth with the customs agents: they wanted to charge us import taxes, Bernard was trying to convince them that the buggies would not stay in the county, therefore there was no need to pay import fees. They reluctantly let us take our cargo.
Back at the apartment we assembled and checked our buggies, the only things missing were two bolts to attach the back wheels. Thankfully we have spares, although they are slightly shorter, hopefully they'll do the trick.
Tonight is our last night in the city, so we are busy doing final pack out preparations before we begin our three day road trip in the morning to our start point.
