Marseille, France - Tuesday 27 February 2008 - Yes Georges, I am in France

We stepped into French soil on Monday afternoon and surprisingly no checkpoints, no costume, no bribes, no visas, just pure fun to drive through the borders in Europe. Or as my co-pilot from West Africa, Erik Brandt said. Much more fun and exciting crossing borders in Africa. He raced through four countries in less than 10 days :-) I dont really need to agree with him on that one.

The above picture; Shame that I came here this time of year as I hoped to taste some good fresh wine. Now I guess that I have to settle for something from last year or worse... even older. Well, what else can I report other than Betsy did a remarkable nice journey today without as much as a tint of floss and we are happy to be in France. I will use an hour in Marseille to visit a mechanic just to make sure everything is in order. And people say that I am not considerate... hmmm
