You should be aware from the two previous bulletins of Chris’s misfortune although it has turned out alright finally. The dog involved was identified by a local vet treating him for food poisoning and was not Benji.
The Aswan to Wadi Halfa ferry is not your usual car ferry as it consists of a […]

Twitter users will already know, but for those that do not follow us on Twitter, I am pleased to announce that Chris did not have to return home after all. The doctor in Aswan came up with an alternative course of injections that allowed Chris to continue on this odyssey and so he is still […]

Chris Vernon has been bitten by a dog, in Aswan, Southern Egypt. He has to have a course of anti rabies injections over the next three weeks available only from hospitals or clinics. As there are no guarantees that such facilities will be available along much of the route we plan to take Chris […]

Henry and I went to see the pyramids, which are pointy buildings in the desert. Roy said something about mummy being found in one and being taken to the museum in Cairo. I didn’t know she was lost and don’t understand why they took her there, but Henry and I went to see her anyway.

Hurghada is a manufactured sunshine resort with little to recommend it, however we did give the cars their first complete service having completed over 4,000 miles. Fresh engine oil, topped up gearboxes, rear diffs and carburettor dampers. Chris found that one of Dorothy’s exhaust brackets was broken for which he found a man who […]

The indignity of it all; Egyptian registration plates we can’t even read! Well, some of the things Bridget and Dorothy have to do for their drivers, but it’s only until we get to Aswan.
Following a very pleasant rest in Nuweiba’s Swisscare Hotel we struck out for Suez. Leaving at around 08:30 we thought it would […]

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven’t written recently but I am in disgrace. I said I had a secret that Roy wasn’t aware of and I have been caught out. Part of my punishment was being banned from writing on the website.
You see I have a little friend, Henry, who I smuggled into Bridget the day […]

Sorry about the picture, but I couldn’t resist it. I swapped my walking boots for 5 pints of beer.
We left Antakya, in Turkey, at 7:00 AM and drove through the forty miles to the Syrian border under a clear sky but with a chill in the air. This is typical of early mornings in most […]

You may already have seen Roy’s report that we have moved on from Turkey. I really enjoyed it there and didn’t want to go to Syria. I have seen all the terrible things on television and was very frightened.
We were driving down a wide motorway when suddenly we stopped and lots of men with guns […]

We spent our rest day nosing around Istanbul just like typical tourists. Visited the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Museum, Topkapi Palace, the waterfront and discovered Istanbul’s answer to Hampstead. There is an area of boutique hotels, bars, and restaurants. It comprises mainly of restored buildings so it is clean and very, laid back for Istanbul.
As […]
