GOODBYE FATIMA
It’s finally time to hand Fatima over to her new family.
Fatima has been our home for over the past year, as well as faithfully taking us wherever we chose. She carried us across the Atlas Mountains in North Africa, crossed the Alps (Swiss, Austrian, and French), she has been to the sands of the Sahara Desert as well as the beaches of the Greek Islands
In all we calculate we have travelled just over 40,000 km in Fatima in the past 15 months, and that does not count the numerous ferry trips. Some only short distances such as the 15 km from Tarifa, Spain to Tangier, Morocco, but many were overnight, like to Greece from Italy. And now we can even laugh at that nightmare of a trip from Morocco to Genoa, 3 days of smelly, noisy truck drivers, and us sleeping on the benches in the lounge as we had no cabin to go to where we could at least get some sleep.
Our adventures have not quite finished though. From Germany we travel to Copenhagen, in Denmark by train, then after spending two days there it’s back on a ferry for an overnight journey (in our own cabin, woohoo) to Oslo, Norway. We will spend ten days with Else and Adam in Oslo, then on to Sweden, in a small village near Skovde, for our last house-pet sit of this trip.
We have added a few pics of our journey with Fatima, hope you enjoy them!
