One Direction
Tonight we met a nice family from Chillan with a problem with their car. I could not help as it looked to me like the water pump had broken. Anyhow Julie used the meeting to get extra lessons in Spanish!Matias…

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…

Poseidon Adventure
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…
Dark Side Of The Moon
Not quite as dramatic as being on the moon but we may be out of contact for quite a while. No working internet on the phone and no 3G. We are back on Sat Phone and Wi-Fi cafes. The Sat Phone…
