Sunday was a long long day, I was not really sure what was entirely wrong with the charging mechanism and the whole day to think about it while the MG stayed untouched 6km away,I knew not exactly where....
I decided to go for a 40 minute run along the river to take my mind off things...came back to the apartment room and got showered then went to look for some food...it was sunday and most things were closed exept for a fast food shop which opened at 5..it was cheap and might make up for my expensive breakfast expenditure...and I needed to keep some "Kuna" for the expenses that the MG would need on monday.....I found the fast food bar and had some sort of sandwich washed it down with some pepsi and reached for the "rennie".....went to a local bar had a beer and then went to bed...
Skip introduction to posts!
The trip is to be the most ambitious of adventures that I have ever taken and it will be independent and I will be unaccompanied. Europe, the Middle East and Asia - at least two sea crossings, 'cartes de passage' for the MG - my own visas, tool kit, maps, Lonely Planet guides, changes of currency, spare parts, camping accessories and a field kitchen - not to mention a healthy amount of whit and invention will be needed.
The date of departure is scheduled for 3rd May. My plan is to update this site on a weekly basis to share the sense of adventure to fellow enthusiasts. (And to give those of you a chance to help sponsor the trip - perhaps a beer for the day or my dinner that evening, maybe even a whole days sponsor.) You will get a mention in the blog, where you will be my spiritual companion for the day.
Introduction
Everyone has a chance to dream - not everyone realises them - this will be my story, my dream.
Ever since I was a young boy I have always liked well made machines - 'classics' by todays standards - I always liked tales of adventure too - the bigger, the longer, the harder, the better.

Until then keep reading, I have my last minute adjustments to make.

Sponsors
As with all big projects its the support from friends that makes the difference,so I would like to say a big big thankyou to Paul and Mike and Linda and Emily for helping with the specialist parts and for being so efficient and swift and proffesional.
So I shall raise a glass to MG BITS when at my first port of call in Belgium where I am reliably told they sell the finest Beer in the world brewed by none other than Trappist monks......DING DONG!!!!
