Sally,
1. where do you wee in the desert if there's no bushes?
Well this was a tough one! It was ok for the men but for me it was behind a sand dune, a pile of rocks or occasionally a 2cv!! It was easier in the jungle! (but had to be aware of the local wildlife!)
2. what animals have you seen?
A Monkey, Elephant, Donkeys, Cows, Goats, A Baboon, Alligators, Dogs, Cats, Lizards, Snakes, Frogs, beautiful large Butterflies, Scorpions, Stick insects, loads of bugs, Beatles etc and of course far too many horrible Mosquito’s! No Lions though I’m afraid!
3. do you have a tan?
A little, most days when arriving at camp I was pleased with how brown I was until I had a shower and washed it away! The small tan I have now is probably just the African red dust embedded in my skin!
4. are father/daughter relations all well and good?
We had our moments! (as most teams did) but are still good friends! And proud of each other! And both very proud of Laura the Tourer!

Yea I really missed a ‘proper cup of tea’ (I’ll see you Thursday Kay!)
I was very careful not to get sun burnt so no worries Jade
Brayden, the nights were actually very quiet, lots of cricket sounds but didn’t hear any wild cats!

Trevor, I look forward to the Full English at the allotment! I’ll bring the tea bags!

Phil, One team of mechanics (David and Eric) travelled in the sandy coloured 2cv, the desert duck, This is a lovely car and is 4x4! And the mechanics were superb! Really helpful and always singing and dancing!

Grandad and Jean, You may have spotted Laura B (girl guides centenary teddy bear) in some of the pictures, she travelled in between us the whole journey (and on the roof some days) She’s home safe also in condition but covered in African dust still! She also got wet in the water fight at the finish!

Apoligies there are not many pics of Dad, he seems to hide when the camera is about!
I've been reading someof my blog posts and also apoligise for the small spelling mistakes! most of the time I was fighting with my eyelids when typing the updates!
