WAY TO GO!!! It looks like such a nice day in your pictures, but 30C is freaking HOT!!!

Awesome job, thanks for the pictures!

And I am laughing at your time of 0:00 for transitions...I know that you probably didn't have them recorded, but when I read your T2 comment of "v. fast" , I thought "of course it was, with a time of 0:00!!!" Just me being a goof!
