Aw, thank you Lisa. Yes, audio slideshows – definitely! We have lots of plans :) But we’re waiting for stuff that has strong audio and photo, cos like you say, it’s a lot of work. I can’t remember what Elaine uses (I did find out) but we’ve bought Soundslides Plus – really impressive in that it’s cheap, powerful and amazingly intuitive to use – you know, in case Elaine ever has a day off or anything :)

Bex – so far – you are doing the web stuff more than just properly – you are doing it AMAZINGLY!

I am loving the slideshows and the audio recordings… what would be super cool though is some audio slideshows… although I guess that’s a bit much to ask for since I don’t even know how to make them! We always get Elaine to do them! LOL! I can ask her how she does it if you’re interested.

Sorry, I seem to have fallen way behind on comments.

Maria Helena – I’m not convinced by Agadir but yes, the apartment is paradise! We’ve ended up staying an extra two days (we’re increasingly realising that the website and the sound recordings need a lot of time and love if we’re going to do it properly, and we want to do it properly. So I think this may be a very slow cycle through Africa. Which is fine!). We are finally leaving tomorrow for a good stint on the bikes – and looking forward to being back on the road.

Aunty Audrey – beer in the bath, why didn’t I think of that?! This is clearly why you’re my spiritual guardian!! An excellent suggestion. Thank you – I’m glad you’re enjoying following the journey.

Grande abracos to you both, B.

Agadir sounds like heaven, with its apartment with geraniums and palm trees. And a bath, too !!! And a fridge with beer !!!

It was very interesting reading about the Moroccans and the changes you were able to witness.

Hope you both enjoy the apartment throughout the next few days.

Love

Hi Veronique – yes, I remember meeting you well – it’s brilliant to hear from you!

You’re right, our route was completely lacking from the website so I’ve just put up a map. It’s pretty vague, but that’s because we are too :)

Hope all’s well, and keep in touch,

Bex

Hello Bex, I’ve just found out about your site and your project. It’s amazing. I think I’ve met you briefly last year at the ECF in Oxford. I am working for the Amnesty webteam… anyway I have subscribed to your blog now and I am looking forward to listen to the sounds of Africa and follow your adventures. Where are you planning to go? I can see where you are at the moment, but I can’t see what direction you are going, what countries you are planning to cycle through (Senegal, Nigeria, Mali?…) Take care, Veronique
