PLYMOUTH - BANJUL CHALLENGE: T-22 <- clicken Sie here ...

Africa get ready for us

We´re at T-22 preparing for our grand adventure: The Plymouth-Banjul Challenge.

Preparations are well underway: Fabian and I are getting vaccinated by the dozens every Monday now - think Yellow fever, Rabies, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis A, and plenty of other viruses - at a maximum rate of four: One for each extremity! The result is that we basically can´t use our arms and legs for the rest of the week. No more Friday night dancing for us until we leave!

Mathias and I have successfully installed the luggage rack and glued on the official Plymouth-Banjoul stickers to our trusty car - the Flammen-Golf - today. Still we have lots more to do.

Tomorrow Fabian and I will try to get the international drivers licenses, international insurance, book the ferry to Marokko, and apply for visas to Mauretania. Time is running out for all our preparations.

Tonight I devoured the diary of team Fox Tango reporting from last years challenge, the Plymouth-Banjoul Challenge 2006. Now I seriously can´t wait to hit African soil. I´ll keep you posted on the progress.
