ENTER THE AMAZON

It's a sin to leave food in the table so the Phantom Bikers indulged Ngaio's herb buffet to whip up their appetite for last week's leftover French toast, trainwreck tuffle mac and cheese, stuffed grape leaves, bacon western sliders and cannimal style burger, al pastor style pork and braised tangine chicken

Meanwhile in Dublin, Jimmy Mahon and Ursula Sweeney turned out as the main protagonists in Season 2 before Globe handed a free 6-month Amazon subscription but The Search for the Real Mt. Sinai was a dud and Da Vinci Code Decoded turned out to be indecipherable until the last half of Trekking the Great Wall brought the Phamtom Bikers to Xishuangbanna where wild peacocks frolick in Guilin's Li River that flow and die in Dunhuang's desert before resurrecting as ice castles in Harbin. 

But still, Amazon wilted in presence of Lola who shone brighter than The Lighthouse of the Orcas in Patagonia, or Mogli's spirited adventure during Expedition Happiness where she and the Phantom Bikers crossed through Canada, the United States and Mexico in 7 days.

That was before John Randolph Bently and Petra Andropov time travelled from 1973 Budapest to scour Kursk, Moscow, London, Paris, Accra, Kentucky and Pyongyang for Stilleto 6 and the cicadas of Treadstone that brought them to a widow in Bakal 2, keeper of pale pilsen and extra strong potions which knocked off three of the Phantom Bikers before the Perfect Elus gathered and the Amaranths reconvened for the penultimate Sunday conclave where Jack Ryan and James Greer played hide-and-seek with Mousa bin Suleiman and Nicolas Reyes through the dark politcs of Washington DC, Paris, Syria, Turkey and Caracas.
