The date for the start of the trip is now finalized. I will leave Qatar on Friday 14th May for the first leg to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The visas for Syria have been obtained and hotels booked in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I bought two foldaway chairs for night time chilling in the desert. One is for my imaginary friend, Charlie. I have decided not to carry any form of communication equipment on the journey. I want the arrival in London to be like Apollo Thirteen when it emerges from the dark side of the moon (That would make a great album title).
I watched “I am Legend”; I will need to make contingency plans in the event of a Armageddon while I am travelling through the desert. I may come back to civilization and find humans destroyed and only crack heads and Sarah Palin supporters have survived. I will start with a fast food diet to store fat as all food shops will be destroyed. As the last surviving member of the human race I will need a presidential palace to rule from. Poland looks favorite.
Temperatures have started to rise in the Middle East. It is in the 30C range and likely to be much hotter when the trip starts. By August, in Qatar, the ground will be so hot it will feel like your shoes are burning.
