Ramadan og Id
I dag kom vi til Qatar. 🙂 Her har de Ramadan (fastemåned hvor de ikke kan spise eller drikke fra soloppgang til solnedgang bortsett fra barn, eldre og syke).

One month to go…
One month from now our dream journey has started… Our first stop is Africa. Most likely we will already have reached Dar-Es-Salaam in Tanzania.
