Amazing Coincidence
Last week whilst staying on a site at the wine town of Saint Emillion, we were opposite an old Toyota 4x4 . It was one of those where the tent was erected on top of the roof rack. I said to my wife at the time that it was something I would expect to see in Africa,
Later that evening we got talking and it turned out that was exactly why they bought it. During a convivial evening over a few drinks, their amazing exploits were divulged.
They had taken early retirement at 54, had the vehicle built to their specification and then had it shipped to Capetown prior to driving it all the way back to the UK. taking exactly one year. Amazing stories were told including one morning they woke up to find lions asleep under the chassis.
Next year they are shipping the vehicle to South America to spend a total of 12 months (in two six month segments) travelling all of South America
The following morning they left for Spain
Fast forward to today on the Ile D'Oleron and we got talking to the couple next door in a MH. It turns out they also met the same couple the next in day in Spain
How is that for a coincidence!
