This will be a very short entry - connection rates here are slug-speed.
In short, therefore, the journey to Benghazi was uneventful despite warnings of doom on the highway from those who've gone before. 1000 kms in 10 hours in my trusty little motor - which then broke down the following day - phew!
Moved into a flat sans Internet, hence the brevity of this piece, but it's definitely a step up from my previous place - automatic washing machine, carpets, working cooker, and a proper sofa. Bliss.
More to follow once I get connected.
Hi John
I am glad that you are enjoying yourself and increasing your knowledge about the arabic culture! I am sorry I could not visit Libya as I got busy but will try in the future and get in touch when I arrive (if). I hope you enjoy the experience and the meditteranian sea, but you can get alchol there ask a few locals they will get you some!! Note-any good business for someone like me who speaks some english and good arabic!!!! Look after yourself all the best, take care John
regards Ziad
