The Long and Winding Road


So, since arriving in Africa we have been making our way south. Today see us in Marrakech having nearly made it across the High Atlas mountains. We got to around 10,000 ft but faced with a washed out mountain track, deep snow and terrifying drops just feet away, our plucky little 2cv sighed a barely audible "non" and we had to work our way back down the mountain and find an easier route. Oh well, we live to drive another day.
Helen has picked up the habit of waving at everyone we pass in the car. Its a bit like travelling with Crocodile Dundee. Not because she gives off an air of much needed masculine security, its because shes very friendly. Maybe its more like travelling with the Queen.

"And what do you do?"

Does 'Rob' have a pot to piss in?
Helen, you sound far more resiliant than rob does...why does that not surprise me. Good luck to both of you and have fun!!!

Surely "Rock el Kasbah" should be the song? You're both magnificent anyway.

Am quite suprised that you have both got this far; knowing Rob would have thought there would be some utter catastrophe bfore Dover. Will send a plate to Benin for you.
Have just noticed the car seems to have more tape around the window in each picture.
Keep going
