Twitter and Facebook in China
Several people have been saying the Jones family members are snubbing them on Facebook this week. I tried to Twitter that our facebook is blocked in China but Twitter is blocked too. Sorry
Housetrucks in NZ
During our NZ trip I was looking for housetrucks and buses that were still being used and lived in. I had seen them in books from the 1970’s, and of course from Mr Sharkeys housetruck page, but I was wondering if there were other housetrucks, weird truck conversions, house-buses, and if they still traveled the […]
Prague: A few of my favourite things
This morning in Prague, Czech Republic, I did a few of my favourite things: 1. I admired the architecture, 2. I got myself a Czech beer and fried cheese sandwich (smazeny syr) from a stall3. I went into my favourite camera shop [FotoSkoda] to get some inspiration. The weird thing is that my friend Derek […]
Truck parts at Ait Melloul
Andrew here. I spent yesterday scouring the truck yards at Ait Melloul, not far from the Agadir airport in Morocco. Its an amazing place. I didn’t buy anything but I might return for a bigger diesel tank. Its really worth a visit, even if you dont need any parts for your car or truck.
Easter in Morocco
Morocco is a Muslim country so, obviously, Easter does not register as a holiday or holy-day. Although I did see easter eggs for sale at the local Marjane supermarket. Our kids wanted an easter egg hunt like some church did a few years back but I think this is more of a pagan fertility practise […]
Problems with solar panels
Solar problem in the Sahara?. Our brand new Tenesol TE2000 solar panels were underperforming, giving only 27.4 open circuit volts instead of 33, which wasn’t enough to charge up our system. Even in the Sahara where sun is never a scarce commodity. And solar is important to us because we keep Abigail’s insulin in our […]
Sidi Ifni, the bluest town in Morocco
Sidi Infi a quiet and peaceful break from the hectic cities and we found ourselves coming back to it again, on the way north from Guilmim. Love this place. If your favourite colour is blue, then Sidi Ifni is your town. Limited wild camping here, which involves parking on the large market green in the […]
Is Blogger Blocked in Morocco??
Hello – what’s going on?? I find it curious that blogspot, the world’s leading blog provider, cannot be accessed in Morocco right now. Can someone explain? Is there a censorship thing happening? A few of us here are having the same problem. I am using a Maroc Telecom USB stick – the same company that […]
Installing a pop-up roof on Maggie
We have been waiting until we got to Africa to open up our roof so that we can sleep on top. Its been a little cramped with 9 people living in this truck and the roof top area will greatly increase the square footage by about two thirds. And not having air conditioning means that […]
Paulo’s Drunken Chicken
Yesterday I cooked 4 chickens on beer cans at Paulo’s house. We called it Paulos Drunken Chicken. I adapted a recipe from the BBQ Bible for this. The BBQ rub was 5 equal parts of salt, pepper, nutmeg, paprika and brown sugar. I cut the top off each can of beer and left half the […]
