Ready or not...

Yesterday was a bit influenced by the previous night. Per more then the rest of us. He got the joyous occasion to get a rerun of his breakfast - in reverse. A quite uneventful day really. Kristian went on a hunt for spare keys. A quest he had to give up. We have an extra ignition key and that is it. There might be some hot-wiring in the future.

In the afternoon we went out to sandlader.com to buy a hi-lift-jack. Sandlader professionally modify vehicles for off road use and they participate in professional rallies like the Paris-Dakar, but also in Budapest-Bamako. Their workshop is in the middle of nowhere outside of Budapest. Our arrival gathered quite a crowd of sandladder people - mechanics and drivers. They where standing around our car and giggling as we explained our modifications. There where a lot of thumbs up and we actually got a sense that what we are embarking upon is doable.

The car got parked on Park Ferme - the security guards did not understand that we where in the spirit category (they must have seen our 4x4-racing badge on the back and probably thought we were the most hardcore racers ever) and put us among the 4x4s.

In the evening we met up with some friends that came down to Budapest to see us off. We had a huge dinner enjoying the luxuries of Europe - luxuries that will be fading away soon enough...
