Mobile Phone

Not wanting to be without a phone I got up early and cycled into San Isidro. My old Sony Ericsson which had suffered from an intermittent blank screen now seemed to work properly.
I was on the Personal network and wanted to get a replacement SIM. Their office being closed for Semana Santa I bought a Movistar SIM for A$10 and topped it up with A$20. SIM cards are very cheap here but calls gobble credit at a rate which I find hard to reconcile with published tariffs.
Back to the boat where I spent a lazy afternoon on the aft deck reading Dreaming of Jupiter by Ted Simon. He rode a Triumph motorcycle around the world 1974 and, aged 70, decided to do it again in 2001.
