| Special Bulletin | Some Spanish arseholes stole our day-pack which had in it email addresses for people we have met on our journey. If you only gave us your address out of politeness, then hurray you're off the hook. However if you do want to keep in touch then you'll have to do it first, by sending an email to [email protected] or [email protected]. Mumu and Kath, we have yours so don't worry. | ||

| UPDATED - Where to Next? | Itinerary | ||
| Latest Message | The camel trek in the Sahara Desert at Sunset was fantastic, as was sleeping under the stars. After the trek we travelled for 2 days straight, from the Sahara to Seville. Thank god (or Allah or whatever) for train Couchettes. Seville was damn hot and really quiet. We managed to arrive on the only weekend they didn�t have a bullfight on. So have yet to see one. In Lagos we enjoyed the cheap campsite and the beaches so much we decided to go surfing. Jimmy, our Aussie instructor gave us the 10 minute warm-up, and the 2 minute lesson before we were thrown in the water for 4 hours. We both managed to stand up a couple of times. The next day brought aches and pains of biblical proportions. In Lisbon we were accosted by many many drug peddlars offering hashish. Even in plain view of policemen. | ||
