National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
One roast beef joint cooked to perfection later and its all over. Merry Christmas to all those we may have missed on our mail shot. Some of you have neglected to give us your Email addresses either deliberately or not.…
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
The other day on our way to Ushuaia we saw an overlander on rollerblades pushing a cart. I think he was Swedish due to the flags. We honked and he waved. He was about 45km from Ushuaia so we think it…

Details on the Shipping costs and agents at each end. We used a “fixer” in the form of Duncan at African Overlanders in Gordons Bay. This cost us 2000 rand and to be honest added nothing. If you want to…

A Year Sleeping In A Car You Must Be Mad
We are very happy in the car and our full size double. Its actaully better to sleep in than a normal double. You don’t fall out if you get to the edge so it feels bigger. It also have probably…

Red Bull decided to try to sell the Argentinians some Renaults today. So we went to watch. First time I’ve seen a F1 car. It was hot and I’ve got a burnt head. No it wasn’t either of the principal…

A mostly successful day and we are both shattered. We’ve got insurance for Matilda. We’ve moved into the aparment (and can smell gas). We’ve discovered the Argentinian black market !!! We’ve reported the gas smell and turned it off…mumWe can…
