Ollie finds one for him
The Caves were filled with presents and there seemed to be one for every name you could think of. Ollie was made up to find one for him.
Harry and Ollie Sit with Santa
Bless him, but when Ollie was asked if he had been a good boy all year, he answered
......" Sometimes".

Welcome home
Pip and the boys had made me cards and posters to welcome me home. Ollie was very excited about his Genie outfit. I have tried to explain about the Berbers and Tauregs, but he is busy casting spells and making wishes come true.
Wet November Morning
After driving all night on a marathon 22 hour trip across France at 45 mph we finally arrived in Blighty. Very different Weather from Morocco.

Back with T'internet! In Spain
Sorry coulnt post from Morocco. Although had mobile reception quite often couldnt get internet data connection. So now I am back in Spain tearing up the south coast heading for Taragona and then we head into the mountains of Andorra, where with luck we may find snow. The picture is of the stereotypical "Goats in tree" type. It's very popular in Morocco to graze your Goats in trees mainly because theres little else to graze them on in most of the country.

The Famous Sign in Zagora
There used to be a sign at the end of the town and it had become a land mark. But the Government removed it in some beaurocratic action. The Town have errected this one, as it pleases Tourists.

Castellon De La Plana Land Rover Dealership
These guys fixed our three sheared inlet manifold studs and swapped the serpentine belt. Very efficient and friendly. We were exceedingly pleased to be back on the road thanks to them.

Castellon De La Plana
Well, there's not much to do in Castellon whilst we wait for the Land Rover to be fixed. We did a geocache and had a wander around the Park and went to see a bridge that is a famous land mark, although I'm not sure why as it was pretty lame. The truck should be finished by 5 this afternoon, so we hope to be back on the road this evening.
By far the most interesting thing in Castellon is the Graffiti.

But the climb up the French Pyrenees was spectactular.
Carcassonne
From the Marvel of Modern Engineering the Millau Bridge, to the Marvel of a Medievil Walled City Carcassonne, all in one day. Now we are off to trh Pyrenees.
