Morocco or Less Rocko?
I’ve discovered that Morerocks has been inappropriately named, as there are millions and billions and trillions of rocks in Morocco. They DON’T need even one more rock! As Alan’s blog describes, we’ve driven for hours over a small part of the Sahara and also the Anti Atlas mountain area. Both have a beauty and majesty […]
A Dream Come True
Today was a day of ticking one off my bucket list, or almost! We walked the Trinque Terre today and it was wonderful! I’ve renamed the Cinque Terre, the Trinque Terre (and Al’s renamed it the Shanks Terror as walking it caused terror to his legs), as rock falls in 2011 and 2012 have closed […]
Out of Bulgaria
Thought I’d take a few moments to do a little blog, while Al’s on the laptop… We’re in Melnik, in the south-west of Bulgaria, staying in a nice little guesthouse right in town. We were washed out on our attempt to camp just out of town, but this place only cost 30 levs so we […]
All At Sea
Here we are sitting in a little cabin on a cargo ferry in the middle of the Caspian Sea, after leaving Kazakhstan for the last time a bit after 10pm yesterday! Let me tell you a bit about the process involved to get us to this point… One and a half days of racing back […]
A Taste of Russia
It’s hard to compete with the obsessive bloggers, especially when one is expected to navigate, shop, cook, keep things in order, etc, etc. I’m sure our girl readers will agree! Too bad for the boys! My last blog, which was very witty, disappeared in the clouds, so Alan has prescribed that I create and save […]
PMF Invades Russia
Russians confused at border crossing… Al and I have made it into Russia and even though this will probably repeat some of the other reports, I thought I’d do another blog – just to keep in practice! But first: New female rally driver! With the departure of the of the Ranger family, (my most sincere […]
Mongolian Madwoman
Here’s the details of our encounter on the river 100km north of Ulan Bator… We left the city late on Tuesday, heading north and pretty sure we’d seen UB for the last time. Alan’s not one to pass a river/dam/lake in the afternoon without checking it out for a campsite, so down the track we […]
So Far So Good!
I’ve been inspired to blog again and first I want to say hello to all the wonderful people we’ve met on the way – those who’ve come to say hello and show interest in our trip and those who have helped us in so many different ways. People like Rina, in Dili, who gave us […]
The Best and the Worst (of all of us!)
I’ve stolen the notepad back to share a few thoughts on our trip through China! She continues to throw her best and worst at us. Briefly, the worst centres around the car driving, horn tooting, loud voices straight into the ear (while talking to someone else), men smoking and hacking and people generally pushing their […]
Speed-touring Malaysia
Monday, 25 May 2015 We’re just about to leave Malaysia after one afternoon, one full day of being tourists and one morning of driving again. It may have only been one day, but we packed a lot in! We visited a hot springs family park and bathed in the hot waters, then had a cold […]
