Wiley, the Mzungumobile

We were lucky to have so many interesting and easy-going travellers on Wiley. Having been back in the UK now for nearly a month, it is hard to imagine some of them are still on the road!

It is always hard to mention names and we do not want to offend anyone we fail to write about (you were all wonderful). However, there are a few people who we want to acknowledge.

Sarah and Tom, who sat beside us for most of the journey, were great fun and we would like to see more of them when we return to Australia. Being of similar background and nature we got on very well, although Sarah was prone to lead Weisie astray...

Lindsay and Sheng were also very kind to us and we hope to stay in touch. We want to see you both in the States later in the year.

Dana and Dan were two memorable characters. Dan kept us on edge with his narcoleptic karate-chop-and-kick routine whilst Dana amazed us with her ability to misplace things (like sunglasses down a long-drop).

Chris Poulsen, big and strong but scared of monkeys (and children), was always keen for a "bear" (beer). We are still keen to catch up for a night out in London so let us now when you return.

Merran was the youngest member of the troupe and probably the happiest person we have met - she was always smiling! Thank you for your lovely departing note, we have read it several times and will use the directions to find your cabin in Whitehorse.

And finally, here are a few photos:

• Lunch before diving (Zanzibar)
• Wash time (Lake Baringo, Kenya)
• Equator (Uganda)
• Lunch on a stick (Somewhere in Africa)
