Cairo - Western Desert
7.1.2004 | Cairo, Egypt
Inspite of the morning promises in the live radio report to Radio Slovenija 1, saying that Peter and I would leave Cairo today and head for a thousand kilomtere trip to Luxor through the Western Desert we actually won't be able to do it before tomorrow. At Peugeot service, the only thing we managed to do today was the oil-change. The rear springs' turn comes "tomorrow for sure insha'allah." Then we finally head for the desert for a couple of days. If the Partner has enough ground clearance we'll report in a couple of days from Luxor, hopefully with some good photos.
Sharm esh-Sheikh, Cairo – final cast

I know desertsoul wasn't a good example of an updated web-page during the last days, but the reason is I was quite busy. What was happening?

In vulgar Slovenian the name of the first village means something like "I have to take shit right now." Do you think you could bring the burden a kilometre further?
New year, new attitudes

I'll be falling off camels for the whole year; at least if it's true what they say – whatever you do on new year's night you'll be doing throughout the year.
Cairo - unable to repair the car
31.12.2003 | Cairo, Egypt
When I appeared at Peugeot Giza in the morning they explained me that our agreement from yesterday wasn't good any more. They didn't have "special tools" for Partner (whatever that should mean) so they sent me to the importer Wagih Abaza. A real Peugeot repairing factory, but unfortunately they wanted to repair visual distortions instead of the real reason of all the problems, the hook that had been pulled out at Wadi Ram and consequently pushed the mask and front light backwards. They wanted to repair (actually to bent) the bonnet, left mud guard and left light so that they would adapt to the bent frame. But the decisive for pulling out of the workshop was that I couldn't assist the five hour repairing procedure, I actually shouldn't have at all approached the car for that time.
