Togo convoy - update

The drivers returned from Togo at 11.15pm - over thirteen hours since they left Cotonou. The journey should have only taken 6 hours max, but they lost an hour changing a wheel bearing, and another hour at the border, and could only drive slowly because of the size of the convoy and the age of the vehicles. I met the drivers on the dock as they climbed out of the two vehicles that had brought them back, and each one of them said they'd had a great time and they'd do it again! Bless 'em all! Olly
