So for those of you still remotely interested in my life of leisure, the story continues. I got back to England at the end of November 1999, and proceeded to look for a van, the criteria was:- A high top roof, a diesel engine and preferably white. The choice was tremendous, but so were the prices being asked, I eventually settled on a Leyland-Daf 400, which although wasn't my first choice, it was (a) the right price and (b) fitted the description. ![]()

This was early in December. The plan at this time was to return to Faro at the beginning of February to pick up the bike and carry on where I left off, doing sod all and liking it! Like all good plans this one came unstuck just prior to completion. On 29th January whilst carrying a computer I felt a searing pain in my lower back. This incapacitated me for almost three weeks.
So two weeks later than planned I loaded various cardboard boxes and other junk into the back of the van and set off towards Portugal. I crossed the channel on 22nd February and just headed south. ![]()
