The Beginning of the End

We've had a few comments about the amount of blue on the map. Let me say, yes, we are ashamed! However, now we are on the return leg, I can guarantee that there will not be any more, unless the powered vehicle in question is an ambulance!

Morocco is a very dirty place, particularly when you cannot wash and sleep rough for 3 nights in a row. We are covered in filth, but because we aren't anywhere near a tourist, amongst the rural lot we fit in quite well! We've just had 250kms of just flat, straight road surrounded by fields, it's been the most boring cycling yet.

Duncan has managed to pop his inflatable matress, and in Cairo caught a fairly robust fom of 'The Pharoah's Revenge', so he has been ejecting matter from all orifices and sweating profusely. In fact, on the plane to Morocco 4 days ago he had 4 of the 7 symptoms you should report to limit the spread of swine flu. Like a true hero, this hasn't stopped him doing 100+ kilometers each day! We just managed to get hold of some Gaviscon, woefully inadequate for the severity of his symptoms but hopefully that'll settle his bowels.

We are now out of spare inner tubes, so if we get another puncture before Spain, we're in trouble.

Keep checking the site because we have some excellent photos to upload when we get the chance!
