Gas shortage!

Well, we've not had any more big earthquakes. Apparently there have been a few 4.5's but we can't feel them here. There have been problems and damage in San Pedro and the biggest bridge in the country has collapsed!

This has now caused problems with gas...hmmm....petrol! A friend called me today to go fill up my tank as all the gas stations are running out. There is no diesel left in Sigua and they are fast running out of gas. Possibly going to ration what is left!! I've filled up my tank so should be ok.

There are various theories for this,all due to earthquakes....a) there are problems at the port, b) something to do with the fact the gas storage (no idea of the word in English) was damaged in the earthquake and c) because the bridge is down, the tankers just can't get here to deliver it!!

All good fun! Kind of!
