Having a cracking time, end of day four, one Toyota repaired (fuel issue) and one Defender (prop UJ, panhard bush, fueling, radius arm bushes.... (can you guess who?)

Off roading and site seeing is good - excellent wild camping, best steak dinner ever courtesy of Pugwash last night maybe open fire cooking is his forte.

In Gurada (sp?) currently 28 deg C Sat on the balcony booze in hand what better way to go!

Pictures to follow.

No passport yet chaps. I can't turn away work on the off-chance it might turn up. Have a good time and write something egg-related on Mo's pate while he's in a drunken stupor - then post a pic of it :) There's always Transylvania (or whatever) next time. :(

Glad to hear its going well over there and you’all are having a ball………….. B)

We just flew back to the UK this morning from our trip …………….. it was mostly OK but a good many of my routes were still impassable due the damage from hurricane Ivan which was 4 years ago :blink: ……………however the weather made up for it with mostly 28 – 34C…………….

:)

:hysterical: "Toyota: The Mediocre 4x4xfar"

all the landies haven't ben fine- stickies has had major surgery and the yota has been brilliant- by far the comfiest if not always the most economical (14mpg anyone - eek- though that was off road and pushing it hard). a certain maurice murphys truck is smoking like a chimney- can't beat these efficent TDis !!!trip going very well- couple of us tookm a detour to watch he portugal rally- which was fun even if we did get moved on by the police at 1 in the morning. weather could be better- not as warm and sunny as could be hoped for but it looks like improvemenets are on the way!
