- There appears to be no end at all to the troubles at this phase of the run. After getting cured from a bad infection and the legs & body beginning to get a little energy back again; then the support-car breaks down. 18km was all I got to run before we had to leave the car at roadside and hitch a lift w. an old truck to a town to search for spare parts..

Sweet life on the road ;-)
But atleast there is never time to get bored - each and every day has a new 'surprise'.. ;-)
