A quick update this time as I’m sitting in a cafe leeching the internet from some random house across the street…

And yet more! My phone was dead, so I couldn’t upload any updates… now sitting around a campfire wearing a jedi robe (ok, fine, a Berber robe that the star wars guys used as Jedi robes)… kinda a weird place to upload from, but hey… The team shrank today – so I’m going to be […]

But wait… there’s more! (1-01-2011 Afternoon) As it was quite late when I typed that, I didn’t have a chance to upload it… then the day after way New Year’s Eve, so I didn’t have time to do anything… so here’s the next update as well!

30-12-2010 So, finally an update since Spain! Things haven’t been quiet, I can assure you! I’m typing this from our apartment in Marrakesh, Morocco… that’s right, apartment – not hotel.

What happens when you drive very worn Winter tyres through the Sahara Desert? Well, actually – not much! You get some pretty impressive grip… Sadly, that grip also included a discarded screw… which ended up in our tyre! Last year we had a puncture in the High Atlas mountains… so this year we are going […]

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone reading this post, email (or whatever means you use to get these messages) a Happy New Year on behalf of the entire Team Book Two. For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice. And to make an […]

Last post of the day, promised! (In fact, probably last post for a while!) My what a day… A HUGE THANK YOU TO ELISA, WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC TODAY! Did you know that MB dealerships are closed in the afternoon in Spain for a siesta? They only reopen at 17:00 (until 19:00)…

Howdy! (apologies to those subscribed for the multiple emails today!) How far can a car with one wheel missing go? So… eventually decided to look into it… jacked the car up and rattled the wheel, there was a bit of play {guessing 2mm-ish in being able to move the wheel horizontally away from the car}. […]

A quick update from bandaged finger… Got the car running again this morning… no noises now… after a few crunches everything went quiet! So unless the wheel is about to fall off or seize, looks like we may be able to keep going! Albeit at a slower speed… Still can’t find anyone to swap the […]

26 Dec 2010 Definitely an interesting day… I woke up at 3am, got ready and drove to Andrea & Tim’s place. By the time we loaded, fuelled and got to Folkestone it was past 7am. Luckily, our train was cancelled, so we weren’t late for the checkin! At the terminal, we met Dave and Olly […]
