Ready to load

Daily Mirror London-Mexico World Cup Rally

Car is prepped and ready on the quayside as the loading begins. Tish has done her prep and Tina and I helped as much as we could. Car tidied and cleaned out. Puff is ready to be lifted up into the ship to sail away at midnight … next stop Rio de Janeiro.

On 6th May the rally would restart in South America. We have made it on to the boat ….and on with the Rally ….hooray.
