Great Blog - Great Trip - ENJOY - Unless Eric's friends are cycling or walking to work and are living in unheated houses they are doing their share of burning up fossil fuels! It is so easy to criticise when sitting in an armchair! Long live your spirits of both adventure and charity.

Nice blog, nice trip. Have you spilt yoghart on your car seats yet? I'e got some spare car seats from my 1981 Chevette (special edition ones with adjustable backrests) if you need them.
p.s. I didn't see how much you guys gave to Care? I showed my friends your website before you left and they commonly said two things; firstly that you will be burning up loads of fossil fuels and secondly that if you didn't go then you could give all the money you spent directly to Care. By that reasoning the amount raised must exceed the total budget of the trip in order for it to be "morally accountable". Personally I think you should just go and have a good time and forget the charity bit as it is an unecessary distraction. Mind you, you did get some free kit out of it...
