This is our final blog entry

Here is our last blog entry... we are back in drizzly England, back to normality (of sorts).
We went to collect our bikes from RAF Lyneham the-day-before-yesterday (thanks Commadore Parr!), and spent yesterday cycling! we cycled from Matts Grandparents in Didcot to oxford, a lovely un-challenging cycle. It's really good to be pedalling again.

Anyway, we had planned to still be in Morocco...so why are we back????
We had to leave our charity project in a hurry when Claire was struck down with a vicious bout of DYSENTERY! Spent a delightful couple of days in hospital and bed-bound in Marrakech hotels while Matt organised last minute flights back. Claire was reeeeaaaally poorly! (dehydrated, delusional and unable to eat or drink). The return flight did pass without 'incident' because she had not eaten for a while.

She's better now, though, and is raring to run and jump and cycle cycle cycle! She just needed home cooked food that wasn't veggie couscous - thanks Claire's mum!

Thanks to everyone who followed our blog - we like hearing from people that they've been avidly following our progress!

And thanks to all our sponsors. We're putting together a report which you will hopefully enjoy. We got a letter from WaterAid thanking us and you for all the money - the amount we raised (over £3000) is enough to pay masons to work on wells serving 30,000 people!
