4 weeks 5 days to go

nothing happens

Seems like lately all we do is sit around waiting for the trip to begin. It’s boring. We research stuff about the countries we’re going to and check latest news in an attempt to weigh up the safety aspects of what we’re about to embark on. But other than that all we do is watch TV and eat. Suffice to say I’ve put on a few kilos, but I figure I’m gonna lose more than I’ve gained during the trip anyway, so it’s probably a good thing. Sort of feels like a hibernation period before the long, long journey.

And we still don’t know if we’re going to Mauritania.
