Whoo Hoo!! Some serious connectivity at last!
That's actually a bit premature: We don't know where we'll be by the time we get to post this, but we know we'll be overjoyed to return to unfettered access to the web.1
At the time of writing Mau and I... Full post |

Filed Under: Kyrgyzstan, Suusamyr Basin These blog-slack tumbleweeds figured they had better explain their current tumbles before you all give us up for lost.
I think we left off “catching up” in Jordan, which is a bit disgraceful because that was about 3 months ago and we've seen parts of seven more countries since then.... Full post |

Filed Under: Egypt, Oasis Overland Silk Road Expedition DAY 17: Alexandria, Egypt. The Corniche. The curved wall in the middle distance is the new library.
Alexandria and its catacombs - where unfortunately cameras were banned. Grrrrrrrr. Shame. They were special. Cairo - where the crowds at the museum made it impossible to decently view that... Full post |

Filed Under: Libya, Oasis Overland Silk Road Expedition, Egypt DAY 12: Benghazi, Libya.
We've obviously had to give up on any pretense of catching up on the day by day account while we're on the road. We're in Sheki in Azerbaijan as I begin to write this and if we're lucky we'll get to post it from Baku, just before we board a ferry to cross the Caspian to... Full post |

Filed Under: Libya, Ghadames, Oasis Overland Silk Road Expedition I'm surprised by the sudden appearance in my viewfinder of a man pushing a bicycle through the covered alleys of Ghadames' old town. I'm concerned that I've taken his picture without asking, but my expression of surprise and apology apparently confuses him, leading him to think I'm unhappy he's... Full post |

Filed Under: Libya, Nalut, Oasis Overland Silk Road Expedition The wind has kept us company and threatened us with rain since breakfast. As we negotiate the switchbacks below the redoubt of Nalut's abandoned qasr, the gain in altitude exposes us to the full intensity of the wind's chilling embrace.
Mau is really ill now, having slept feverishly last night... Full post |

Filed Under: Tunisia, Libya, Mu'ammar al-Qaddafi Two peals of thunder wake us to the sound of real rain on the tent fly.
It's another day in the truck with nothing much to report, which I guess means that this should more properly be called a no-news post.
We pack up our wet tents and the day slowly clears as we return to Medeini to... Full post |
