10 January 2005 - Random Thoughts!
Martin writes... as I type this, I think we have about 11 days to go before we finally hit the road and point the Landy in a Southerly direction.  Our friends, Steve & Michele, are attempting to leave tomorrow - this means that we will be a few weeks behind them but hopefully we should catch them up on African soil.  We are planning on meeting near Rabat or Casablanca so as to organise our next set of visas.

The last few days have been rather frustrating - I have had to be patient as my passport has still not been issued, and the carnet seems to be taking ages to arrive - along with the fact that Steve & Michele are beginning their trip.

We still need to tackle the following:

  • Sort out toolbox - Martin
  • Sort out spares for Landy - Martin
  • Fit curtains - Martin & Debbie
  • Purchase long-life food stuff (tea, coffee, milk powder, toothpaste etc)
  • Visit dentist
  • Photocopy all documentation
  • Hide our travel money...

That's just the short version of the list... the long version is still tucked in our heads!

Accommodation - I need to mention a huge thanks to Chris, Cindy and Nicholas (Debbie's sister, brother-in-law and nephew).  They have kindly accommodated us for the last 40 days and have been extremely patient about it.  Guys - you have been a lifesaver to us and have been the most generous couple with your everlasting patience and kindness.  Thanks for allowing us to clutter the dinning room, the bedroom and the store room with all our junk!
