We were fortunate enough to meet up with the folks from Tiny House Giant Journey on our travels. They wanted to feature our truck and we think the results of their endeavours are fantastic. Please have a watch, I’m sure you will agree!

Phil and Lynn take us on a tour of their amazing DIY Overlander, which they use at their full time home and vehicle to travel the world. Living off their pen...

We spent a few nights at Bodega Bay in California enjoying the local seafood and beaches before heading over to the Golden Gate Bridge. There was lots to see and do in SF including visiting the outdoor market, eating at Hog Island Oyster Co. and going up and down the steep roads on the cable car.

Lillooet. A very pretty community with a prestigious winery established in 2009, an old suspension bridge passing over the Fraser River built in 1913 and a delightful brewery. The only problem was we had to visit the winery and the brewery the day after to make sure it wasn’t a dream.

Before we left British Columbia Covid finally caught up with both of us. For a couple of weeks we hibernated at the side of a beautiful lake enjoying the stunning sunsets, wildlife and views whilst we recovered.

Valdez. We travelled from an overnight spot in Glennallen to Valdez which is located on the South coast of Alaska. The road into Valdez was incredible with multiple waterfalls, majestic snow-peaked mountains and Worthington Glacier. Valdez is a busy fishing port where a friendly fisherman gave us two of his silver salmon catch of the day.

What happened on The Dalton Highway (update by Lynn).
The Dalton Highway is a thousand mile round trip from Fairbanks in Alaska to Deadhorse on mainly a gravel road which is considered one of the most dangerous roads in North America. On arrival at Deadhorse we caught the shuttle bus to Prudhoe Bay, very quickly changed into our swim gear and plunged into the 5 degree centigrade Arctic Ocean. Mission accomplished.

The Dalton Highway took it’s toll on Our World Traveller, but after a bit of welding and a lot of cleaning we are back on the road again. Where to next?

I’ve realised Phil is rubbish at updating this page so I (Lynn) am going to start posting here as well.

California, Bodega Bay. We spent a few days at Bodega Bay enjoying the local seafood and beaches. This is where Alfred Hitchcock filmed The Birds. It’s a place I found very tough to leave.

Well this is one of those posts I said I would never do. It's a catch up as I feel I have to! We have driven the Alaska Highway, paddled in the Arctic, camped in some wonderful places and met some wonderful people. We caught Covid and recovered and now we are all the way down in California. Its been a blast, can't wait for the next bit ...... note to self, update Facebook more often😁

Well we have made it to Morocco, we had an interesting time at the border.
We eventually made it to the front of the queue to see all of the vehicles being searched which prompted the conversation of who was most worried, Lynn about her beer or me about my wine.....neither of which we should have. The actual formality was tense but only lasted 15 mins of the two and a half hour total. We reached the front and I got down from the cab and stood in front of the truck one customs man comes to say something I don't understand I look baffled and he says "parley France" I say "un peu" and the rest of the dealings are in French. He takes the passport and vehicle import D66 document and disappears into an office for a few minutes then comes out to pronounce No, No Carte Gris! I look flummoxed and he points to a little cabin 35 meters back down the queue and gives me my passport. I go to the cabin and it's empty, I walk to two similar cabins before I find one occupied by an unsmiling 12 year old in a police uniform "he is obviously in training for the front line". I ask for Carte Gris and offer my passport whereupon he types all my details into his computer and hands back my passport sans Carte Gris! I go back to stand in front of my truck and my customs man comes out with his mate and starts pointing at a different vehicle document and asking me if I am Spanish. I said no and could see a Spanish registration on his bit of paper. I say I am English and point to my reg plate. He asks louder am I Spanish and is "this" pointing at his bit of paper my vehicle. I say no and point to my reg plate. They both throw up their hands and head back into the office. Lots of walking in and out of the office and searching vehicles in front of me later he comes out with my vehicle document and asks if this is me. I say yes, he asks me if I have any guns in the truck, I say no and he gives me my papers and waves me through!!!
My first proper border, no search, no English and definitely no GUNS!
