Hello from Syncro Heaven.

Post by syncroand101 »

Hello all,

Well after nearly 2 1/2 weeks on the road we are still driving and seeing fantastic sites.

We have crossed over the Atlas mountains (with a slight route diversion due to a massive snowfall before we arrived. We are now as far South as we can travel in Morocco without crossing over into Algeria.

Today alone we have negotiated steep sand dunes, dry river beds, rough tracks, water crossings and rocky pistes. A pretty severe test for the vehicles...

We are now parked up as the sun has just set with a fire ready to go...

Some pics for now...

Hope all continues to go well and you enjoy yourselves. It certainly looks amazing.

Does indeed look fantastic - and sounds as good as it looks.......you'll hit the ground with one heck of a bang when you get back, but it's got to be soooooo worth the effort..... :twisted:

Good to hear that you are OK and having fun. These pictures are just amazing are you sure you are not in a large quarry somewhere in Essex with a good computer trying to pull of the same trick as they did with the moon landings?

Im actually considering going to see the doctor about some prozac since starting to follow this journey.

Some friends of mine are going to drive a landie from UK to Cape Town and back, leaving dec 07. Racking my brains as to how i might be able to join them for the Morroco part. . . :cry:

Jealous just doesnt cover it.

My hat goes off to you guys, serious respect!
