Just entered burkina faso after a struggle with the starter motor on the car . . . Have had to resort to stopping inocent bystanders to tow us for a brief period to get stevie going again.however this hasnt reduced his attractiveness as we've had a few good offers to buy him for 100000 mauritanian ouguiya.hoping to get to Ghana this afternoon&hit the beach asap! @

In mali now after quite a swift transit through mauritania . . A few problems experienced in mauritania including many giant scorpions and the car not starting . . . Had to resort to a push and a shove from many willing african children to get us going . .they accepted bic biros and haribo for payment which was a done deal. No music as it is broken and the one cd we have is getting rather repetitive cheese has started talking to herself which means madness is beginning to set in x @
