Oil Av Some Of That
First garage…..£5000E for 5 litres,,,,second garage £97E for 5 litres……Slightly different type but i don;t suppose there was actually that much difference in price. Tourist rates !So we now have an almost complete stock of fuels again.
Night Crawlers
In more ways than one. Julie has been bitten all over by what we presume is Mosquitoes,,, and for the first time ever i’m showing signs of bites. This is a first for me. So hopefully they don’t carry anything…

Took a while to get back online and get time to continue. Sorrywhen the customs dance was over we filled up with Diesel having spent 13 days in Jordan on only one tank of fuel. Its a small country. We…
A Fool And His Tools
are easily parted….We have been robbed. Nothing too serious but my Axe and Impact screwdriver have been taken on the ferry from Aqaba to Nuweiba. I’d mistakenly left the rear door unlocked and when we returned to the car after…

Cruising Karak By Land Rover

Amman A Woman And A Salty Drink
We stayed in Amman another day to get Matilda an eye operation. She now has left hand drive lights. They are soooo much better and will be much safer on the African roads. These were tested to the extreme as…

Syrian Passing
Finally through Syria, where i couldn’t post to the blog. The Dutch team had a timing belt failure and this caused quite a bit of damage. I diagnosed them on the road just outside Homms. Not the best place in…
