2014 Adventures

OK, we have the main adventures for 2014 sorted now...

All being well, this is it:

• Return to the UK March 7th
• 15 June > 18 July: Tour of Faroe Islands and Iceland with the Searcher & Toureg.
• 06 September > 14 December: Back to back guided motorhome tours of South and Southern Africa, hiring motorhomes via the Camping & Caravan Club.

We may spend Easter in Nerja and at times in between we will do some more of our intermittent  tour of the entire UK coast in the Searcher. Perhaps we should do Scotland now...

...and, while we're on the Scottish question, thinking of our African tour, here's an interesting proverb:

Oh, happened across this  packet of sugar in a local restaurant. I used to collect quotes and Gandhi was top of the list then....I like this one..

If you need to, get onto Google Translate

Meanwhile, here's an image of Sadella, one of the many beautiful Andalusian villiages in our locality. It''s said to be one of the last Moorish villages to resist the forces of the Christian Queen Isabella.

Made it.

Some stats will go up HERE

What have we got out of this adventure...

...well, yet more varied cultures experienced and friends made... lots of priceless memories that will stay with us..and what about our faithful outfit...

Just one very small dent on the Searcher where a strong Turkish gust of wind picked up a chair and hurled it at the side. Otherwise that's around 14,000 miles of adventures ... it still looks pretty damn good..and still gets lots of interest and admiration. Wish I could say the same.

What can we say about the Touareg? What a car....it hasn't put a foot wrong...bags of power..totally stable with around 1.9 tonnes on the hook..and I have yet to top up the oil while on one of these taxing 6000m+ jaunts.  Comfort & luxury, too...does love a drink of diesel though...prefer red myself.

So that's about it for this adventure; it's that time for reflection, memories....and a return to home chores.

...Off to Coventry on Friday for talks on overseas motorhome adventures from the C&CC....Southern Africa looks good.

Watch this space....
