Its all a blur!

Blimey - well it's all well and truly over now, back to work for a week and it's all feeling very surreal. I've finally downloaded all my photos after a very lethargic week, so you'll have to excuse the lack of posting, I apologise to those anxious to see some pics.

I will start writing up an account of the trip at some point, along with photos when I get a chance. I want to put up a list of the kit we took in the end, along with a mini review of each item and whether we'd take it again or not.

Far far too much stuff went on to start talking about it now, but it all went extremely smoothly and we impressed ourselves how well we coped with all the daily dilemmas and physical stresses. My two over riding general feelings for this tour were: 1 - just how amazing it was for variety, in terrain, landscape, people, culture, roads, weather etc and 2 - the sense of freedom by the 2nd week, freedom from everything, including the time and what day it was, just using the Sun to judge direction and when to find a place to stay - an amazing feeling that we both totally immersed ourselves in for a good few weeks.

A nice warm up ... now I'm ready for my 12 months round the world trip ...

It all adds up!

And every little helps...........THANK YOU!

Made me laugh!......we are innnnn...er...Rabat! feels like weve been on the road for a very long time now...some days I dont even know what day it is....how cool is that?...Morocco has been a land of extreme's, as my friend said it would be,ups and downs highs and lows and the people have been either the nicest in the world or the biggest b**ards to be honest. we have seen some amazing things slept under the stars in the desert at a Berber camp, we rode camels for 4 hours getting to the camp and back ( and had the sore arse for two days to prove it) been run over by a Geologist in a 4x4 (another dent in the panniers) seen the most amazing landscapes, had fantastic food and great fun, had stones thrown at us, been painted with henna and ..........

....become masters of saying "no thanks" in every language (including hand signals).  Time, date and even money has become irrelevant, just the sun setting, petrol and happiness are our only concerns.  Every day has proved unique, something new to see or experience - both people, events and landscape.  A fabulous trip!

yay!
