Libya - driving
from Yafran north-east towards Tripoli on
the Mediterranean coast, arriving on 9th January 2003
Rallye mail
Thursday 9th January 2003 and we
reached Tripoli at last. We had stopped an astonishing extra
seven times on this one day run due to the storms.
Everyone agreed
that although we were behind schedule we should treat ourselves
to a day off and the cars to a good overhaul.
We enjoyed looking
around the historic parts of Tripoli on Friday, on Saturday
the cars were stripped down. Bent bits were straightened,
bolts tightened, filters replaced and the cars cleaned inside
and out.
