This is Julie here. Last night the boys crossed into Kenya, and have been advised there could possibly be no wi-fi for a couple more days.
I just wanted to let you all know that you can see exactly where there car is by using the Yellowbrick Road tracking. Here is the link Car tracking
You click on the map where all the little coloured bricks are. Then what I do is go to the little pop up window which comes up on the left with the list of cars, then I click number 11 – Max and James Stephenson; then I go to the top and press the “+” “+” on the slider button, or scroll on the wheel of a mouse, until it zooms right in. The car you click on in the list becomes slightly bigger than all the other little coloured bricks. You can move the map by holding the left click button down on the curser and just move it to where you want to follow the road and the other competitors.
One afternoon I saw their car with another doing zero mph right at the end of the pack, so I called Max just to let him know I could see where they were and ask if they or the other car were OK. Max and accompanying travellors all burst out laughing because they were sitting cross legged on the floor of a cafe, eating with their hands; looking out to the Red Sea. …. isn’t technology amazing!!! 🙂

Yes, technology is certainly amazing, how much fun. Interesting to see where the boys are. Really enjoy the posts and so pleased Penny is running great. The menu, sitting on the floor and eating fish with their hands is not exactly my cup of tea, but when in Rome, etc.
Adventures like these are amazing and how nice of your team to share.
Greetings form San Antonio, Texas, we will be watching.
Thank you!

A good laugh Julie. I am so glad I am on holiday and have time to follow them. I have tried to read some of the other blogs but only a couple I have tried match James’s effort.
Re yellow brick: I have a good time turning off all the other cars and then turning them back on to see relative places. Like right now, (8:44am Nairobi time) there are only two cars ahead of them!!??
