Ethiopia! Wow. I am mightily impressed. I hadn't even considered Africa because it just seems even more scary than the Eurasian routes. How did Ethiopia go?

I'm planning to do the same journey again next year but in a Citroen Dyane next time, possibly pimped up to 4WD...

BUT the biggy is in 2009... I'm setting off around the world in a car with a sub 1 litre engine. I don't have the car for that yet - that will involve some work. We're still trying to work out the logistics but we have the Ireland - Mongolia bit under control, we have contacts in Korea, possibly in Panama, and definitely in New York. We just have to see how we'll journey through the Americas.

I have the rally bug and I have it bad.
