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.
Al-Qahira!!! Cairo!!!

Sun, hot weather, sand, pyramids, camels... Peugeot Giza looks like a good workshop so my Partner goes for repairing tomorrow. We'll arrange all that has been spoiled at Wadi Ram, and Partner will be like new, that's at least what Mustafa, the manager, says. apart from this, it looks like we'll FINALLY manage to lift the car for some five cenimetres so Peter and I will travel with greater ground-clearance through desert off-roads easier.

To please Sandra (and all of you, of course), I'm putting a new update on the page, although the atmosphere here is so relaxing that you just loose your sense of time.
