Mission Complete!

Mission completed!! 21km in 3hrs 30mins, not bad for a first go.. nevermind the 30 degree heat and dusty sand of the desert!! Photos and blog updates to follow, I'm recovering from the journey - flights through Algeria are somewhat of a marathon in themselves, nobody is in a hurry in Air Algerie - and catching up with many emails, whilst trying to overcome withdrawal symptoms for the Saharawi hospitality, the lazy hot afternoons hanging out in our family's khyma (tent) and the sugary Saharawi tea. The whole trip was an experience that I will never forget and the Saharawis are nothing short of inspirational. The need to raise awareness of their situation is pressing, they need more than anything for their story to be known across the world. Severe human rights abuses are being tacitly condoned by the EU and the international community in general and we are none the wiser - by voting for our governments we are party to this abuse. It is our duty to find out more about what we are implicitly a part of... watch this space.
