    There is hardly a word in the English language, let alone the French, to describe your, and the car's, magnificent achievement. In the footsteps. or tyre tracks, of great explorers!

    I have read all your blogs, Barbara, another amazing achievement. Adrian, I look forward to your talk at Rotary in December. By the way, Barbara you are invited, you are a must.

    C'est magnifique! Chris

    Congrats to you both - on finishing it AND on the money you raised for SUCH a good cause.

    Can't wait to hear all about it first hand - and to see number 29 in all her post-rally glory!

    Best wishes from us all,
    Jeremy, Liza and Archie

Broken cars, a procession and Popocatépetl.

We’re back among the volcanoes and staying in atmospheric Puebla for our last rest day. I was  excited to see Citlaltépetl on the way here but even more thrilled to get glimpses of Popocatépetl having an afternoon puff through the haze. Such glorious names!  I remember reading about them when I was about 8, in my much loved ‘ Book of the World’ and here I am, seeing them with my own eyes. I swoon.  I just hope it’s less hazy tomorrow so I can see Popocatépetl better. Puebla had a very serious earthquake last year and there was another 7.2 near Oaxaca last month. The damage from these is evident in many places.  It’s been a hectic few days, some rather boring, but fast toll motorway; plenty of absolutely gorgeous mountain driving with steep narrow roads, vertical drops, endless potholes and those bloody ‘topes’ aka car killers.

Our temporary address is: 75 Jailhouse Lane Graceland r v park, Behind the Heartbreak Hotel, Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennesse. Please send all correspondence there. Does it get any better? We were woken at Loretta's by the sound of trees being hammered all around us. We thought that some lumberjacks had started working and hadn't noticed we were there. It turned out to be several woodpeckers tapping the hell out of the trees above us.

It is like a giant version of the, sadly now defunct, Liberace museum that used to be in Los Vegas. She has obviously never had a good clear out and a trip to the dump. Every item of clothing ever worn, not just by her but by her family too is there, along with 50 million other items she has owned or been given. One of my favourite exhibits...
