She was in a pack, wasn't starving and seemed happy, which is the best we can hope for 💛

Hey Bob, interesting question! Usually it can be a challenge finding fresh water but Greece has been so easy for that, there are natural springs everywhere. Routine can be difficult to keep and is one thing I miss - most days are different and it can be hard to stick to even a simple structure in the mornings when you either need to get driving to a new place, find food, water, LPG to fill up on... etc. Good question, it got us thinking 😊

How are you managing the damn Schengen changes. I'm trying to plan for 2 trips in 2022, very confusing even with a Schengen calculator. I assume you'll be at the 90 days max when you reach non-Schengen Turkey? Enjoying your trip.

Couldn't sleep the other night and I was listening to Paul Ross on Talksport. He interviewed a British/South African guy called Stephen McGowan. Stephen's written a book called Six Years a Hostage. He was travelling back to SA from Britain on a motorbike and was captured by Islamic Militants in Timbuktu. Funnily enough, it's a place I've always thought about going on my motorbike. Anyhow, Stephen's experience has dissuaded me and I wanted to say that even if the western Trans-Africa route does open up I think you should swerve it: just too bloody dangerous. Paul said the book is brilliant so you might want to give it a go. Re: dogs & sticks. Has the PC lobby got something against this now? Christ, my dogs have chewed down forests. My sister's border terrier can't think about anything else. No problems to report so far!
@OverlandingSophia
@OverlandingSophia 3 жыл бұрын
Ah we've heard about that book! Honestly, I wouldn't let someone else's experience alone put me off from going somewhere. Saying that, there's no way we'd drive to Mali! It's dangerous. The Western route in general is the most complicated and due to border closures with Morocco it's not possible to drive the whole route without shipping somewhere along the way. It wouldn't be our first route choice and to be honest, not something we're looking at. Oh and the stick thing!! We get told off on Instagram every time we show River with a stick in her mouth. Apparently they splinter and can cause dogs to choke. I've had dogs my entire life, eating sticks, and it's never been a problem. But River does eat them and they make her constipated so that's why we don't let her eat them 😂
