Thanks, herr and Les
thingmon, yes, please message me her contact's, there are many, many people in the UK supporting this, by doing their part in making sure there is only a positve outcome
Billiam, please say hello to your wife from the both of us
Byron, As your buddy's rig is Nissan he should be ok! There is an old Austrailian saying 'If you want to explore the outback buy a Land Rover but if you want to come back buy a Toyota'.
Day 2 - another full day of driving ahead of us...
Through out our trip it was a good feeling being shown some postive support for our little convoy, thumbs up, waves, toots, even a van passenger cobbling up a Ukrainian flag from some blue card and a bunch of bananas
As for UK support, just for this one trip, someone in our village laid on a full packed lunch, an elderly 80yr old lady donated all her old holiday money Euros's, a family donated €600 for fuel. another £200 for a UK fuel fill up.
Each hotel offered discount room/food rates and all the drivers in our convoy donated their time freely with finding vehicles, driving and paying their own expenses ie fuel, food, hotels flights etc.
I'm always dubious of handing over money to charity's but the one we had joined up with is different to most charity's ie for every £1 donated it was easy to see a lot more than £1 goes into their worthy support work 🥰
The following morning we found this under the wiper blade of one of the trucks, nice way to start another long day of driving
Another convoy at the motorway services picture
Mrs Ahab and I keeping ourselves from getting bored by the 65ish top speed due to a trailer in the convoy, I spy with my little eye, something begining with 'C'
We made a fuel stop and a fuel station with a difference, can't remember where though, somewhere in Germany
It's a little different to other fuel stations as it's located where East Germany bordered West Germany, car park full of what I think must have been ex-communist machine gun towers over looking what was no-mans land
Even had an old observation tower, quite a timely reminder of what we were trying to stop with our support of driving our old Toyota across Europe
Been following the same truck/trailer for 100's of miles now, I spy something beginning with 'T' and a new country beginning with 'P' and ending in 'oland' for both of us
More vital support on it's way, not sure from who/what it is but I checked the chassis tag. Capacity was 2500 gallons, with V Power gas, that's $19000 fill up, hope there isn't a max. $150 fill up on the pump
