Quickies

Latest:

  • The house sale continues apace. One offer in, 3 viewers tonight, and another 4 tomorrow.
  • I must mention the website gringoes.com, where I'm finding lots of useful info., and where the folks in the forum are really friendly and helpful. Keep it up guys!
  • It's February already, and we're planning to move in June.... Omygod.
  • We've more or less sussed out the vehicle we're going to get in Manaus - it's either going to be one of these or one of these. The Fiat's probably the more practical; I just don't know whether I could be seen in one.
  • We're also thinking of revising our route to Manaus - instead of Heathrow - Sao Paulo - Manaus, we're thinking of overland to Lisbon, then Lisbon - Salvador - Manaus. All for the sake of the dog!!! (more on this later).
