Morocco

We are now official in Morocco where we are to be in Midelt tomorrow night. We have had som strict instructions to all participants that we are now longer allowed to post near real-time position updates for security reasons. In addition I’m out of Mobile Data in like 5 minutes driving off the ferry in Melilla. Maybe I can reach out to my work collegues to see if they can do something about that?

Anyhow, we are safe and very comfortable tonight in a world class hotell finally being able to have a good night sleep.

The marathon is nearing an end.

The crazy marathon driving from Budapest is nearing an end. We are estimating to arrive at the ferry terminal taking us to Morocco in 3 hours. The race through Spain has been awesome. Newer been in this part of the Country before and really want to come back and explore the history of this region. The weather has been magnificent with a now 12’C temperature outside and sun.

Good morning Sunshine

Good morning everyone. We have been driving through the night and are nearly in Spain. It’s chaos in France close to the Spanish border. Lucky that we just had a technical stop.

France

The time is 04:10 and we just passed into France. We have been driving for 13,5 hours since the start in Budapest. Average speed is 91 km/h and distance covered is 1243 km. It is a shame that we are not able to see more of this magnificent part of Europe as it is pitch black.

And then we have started!

The actual start was captured on go-pro and camera. Sorry that I wasn’t able to hold my phone as well. We’ll update the blog with the start later when we will have a break. It was flames and fury!

The goal is to leave Budapest, drive out of Hungary and through Slovenia to Italy, then France through the night. We have 48 hours to get to southern part of Spain driving over 3000 kilometres.
