the number of protesters had been few, the attention by our friends in blue astonishingly intense - 2 cop cars and one paddy-wagon were following the small group closely.

the Tour of EEEEEvil started in Midland Park with a phat boom-box hailing out loud.
first they cycled towards the US embassy. crayons were used to beautify the pavement, being under heavy scrutiny by security guards and police. a cat's leap later, the protesters rang the door-bell of the German embassy to tell them they are all scummy polluters of the environment. next station was the British High Commission where a banner was unfolded to make capitalism history.
finally, the group was not keen on visiting the other embassies of the G8 and cycled through the CBD and dispersed around Victoria St, receiving smiles and applause from some people on the streets.

In cuba mall a few of us had an info stall on Climate change and on the Happy Valley campaign. Quite a bit of interest and support from pedestrians.
