Sunday 16 March 2008

Just like any other Sunday (NOT!)

We've now been on the ferry for over 24 hours and have been feeling a bit loopy from the 'scopoderm' (seasickness patches only sold in France, with side effects including hallucinations)...

The ferry is full of Gazelles, so we've been busy checking out the competition.

Today we spent about 10 hours preparing our maps for the rally. All 26 have been measured, marked and colour coded. And we still have not yet reinforced them with the scotch tape! We have also been medically cleared, advised on what do in the event of snake/scopion bites (don't
worry Mum and Dad), tutored by navigation experts , have our entry visas, and all in all the ferry has been extremely busy!

Unfortunately the food has not matched London standards. Desperate attempts have been made to work off some of the stodge - you don't often see 5 women drinking water and dancing like idiots in the name of exercise!

Tomorrow we arrive in Tangers and drive to Maknes for briefings and technical checks. Look out Morocco here we come!
