We made it!!!!

Well, I'm proud to be able to tell you that Scott, Tom and the Polo made it to Casablanca on Thursday afternoon.  A crazy place.  Here we are in a sandstorm on the Tangier - Casa road just north of Rabat.

Into Africa!!!!

Well we have made it to Tangier, where we have an internet connection for once! Too many tales to tell now especially as this keyboard is in Arabic, but the Polo is still going strong albeit with a few war wounds. We are doing well too, surviving interminable Ibis Hotels and Scott's snoring, as well as Tom's questionable directions and map reading.

Yesterday's drive was completely mad. Half made roads in the Sierra Nevada covered in mud claimed the lives of at least 3 other cars. These Spanish are crazy. Then today negotiating the Moroccan border and yet another tropical rainstorm. These Moroccans are crazy.....

Tomorrow Casablanca if our luck holds. Photos will follow soon, as will a full story when we have a proper keyboard. Salut!

Tom and Scott

On our way

Well, after not enough sleep, we are go! Blenio Bistro in Brighton have kindly offered £200 for our fundraising target thanks Paula! blogging this from passenger seat on iPhone!

Stickered up and ready to go

Hi everyone.  Well it is the 2nd April - 2 days to go and I'm starting to get nervous!  We just had the handbook through in the email from Justin and it looks a bit daunting - especially the crossing into Morocco.  Still, that is the adventure I guess.

Packing tonight - trying to keep it really light so that if/ when we fly back I won't have to pay for baggage, that's how cheap I am.....

Polo is doing well.  It is scabby but mechanically seems really good despite the MOT advisories.  This may however be famous last words....  It is a delicate balance between being bad enough to qualify without being ashamed, but have a decent chance of making it.  Daniel helped me with the stickers on Saturday - SSDM did a lovely job on them I'm sure you'll agree.....
