Tracking and update

First of all if you want to follow our trip we are sending text messages to an Adventurist bot which posts our texts on a google map. The link is this but to see our European updates you gotta drag the map down cuz it automatically focuses on Africa. In addition they only have certain points which corespond to real life cities so most of the places we can´t post from.

ANYWHO, so since we took off from Wiesbaden we headed out to klenova which is a tiny town with a castle about an hour from Prague. Our only little mishaps of the journey was when Anthony backed into a ditch and I had to push it out while he floored it. But c´est la vie. The party was ok, we met loads of people from the Mongol Rally [I hadn´t realized it was so big (that´s what she said)]. We ended up partying till 3 am despite our constant intent on gettin to bed early.

We woke up and started tuning and fixing up the car. We did for a while end up with a little better gas mileage and performance, but by the end of the day it was back to the old ways again. So we plugged along trying to tune and fix the car as we went. It was touch and go for a while. Then we decided to say screw it and just deal with it till we got to Morrocco.

Then began our 30 hours straight drive. We had only gotten to the French-German border near stuttgart by the end of our first day out. So we started up again at 6am and drove all day and night until we got to Malaga. We took shifts of sleeping and driving. But mostly we were just being cranky and smelly.

We have already bought our ferry ticket and hope to catch one in an hour or two once we get to algeciras. But we need to find a few things before we cross over. I also have to call the bank so they release my CC. Since, with the 2-to-1 exchange rate we are practically broke on cash till our paychecks arrive on friday.
