As borders go this was really easy.On the way in you turn left there’s a sign to tell you to turn right if you need to do Mass Distance Charges. We have no idea if this is true or not.…

As you can probably guess the virus thing has effected our plans. Evacuation back to the UK after a very long thought process of “shall we stay or shall we go”. We spent about 20 days in relative isolation in…

It’s been another few months since i posted but we’ve been active on Social Media. I still get loads of visits here so here goes. I think the last post was from Angola. We’ve been in Namibia and a bit…

Dear father its been a long time since my last confession…LOL (Jelly has asked me to say its in no order at all, chronologically speaking) My Dad and Uncle are both complaining that I’ve not blogged at all for a…

I’m way behind on these so apologies. They take a while to do and I can only do it when we have a good connection. I also missed the photos on the Cassamance to Bissau so theres nothing to post.…

This is a super easy border. Just don’t arrive on the Senegal side at lunchtime. You know the lunches that are 3 hours long from 12 to 3pm. How a country runs with everyone doing this is beyond me. They…

Gradually getting round to posting these crossings as i get the time. IT takes ages! Anyhow i know this is not the official name of the place as the border is miles before the actual ferry and Barra but it…

Taken me some days to get enough connection to post this. We arrived at the border from Nouakchott but it would make little difference if you arrived from Boghe via Rosso along the river road/track. It must be said though that…

Excuses first…Mauritania has shocking Internet speeds and thanks to an “idiot” in a campsite I lost all my data allowance and all my credit. So many thanks to the owner in Bab Sahara for not listening to a word I…

The exit from Morocco is pretty easy as borders go. No hassle at all from anyone. The Mauritania border is pretty typical with touts, fixers, money men and sim cards. Its wasn’t at all difficult. Some pictures below of the…

We are sort of in Surfers Paradise but that’s in Australia isn’t it? There was also the trip to Cirque Du Jaffa where we nearly died last time. This time it’s all been made “road”. Some friends of ours had…

We are not quite lost but we’ve lost our blogging spirit. We’ve been doing Instagram and FB posts quite a bit. It takes so long to do a proper blog post it just falls down the list. Once I’ve got…

They are actually filming it here so I’m sure my normal habit of using film titles is allowed in this case. However I’m not sure that anything we have done recently is related to the title which is what we…

Just a quick post to let you know we are still alive although we are updating the Facebook and Instagram accounts more frequently nowadays.We took the opportunity to relieve the boredom on the boat. I hate boats. I’d not make…

What are these ladies selling? They are all nicely dressed…theres one in every track end into the fields. Maybe they deal in Bananas & plums?
