About this blog

Hi, after 5 years of wandering the desert as a Bedu, I'm going home to Ireland, but rather than take the simple option and fly home, I'm going to drive overland in a 1993 Fix It Again Tony FIAT TIPO. I hope to see the great attractions of the region; Petra, Dead Sea, Krak De Chaveliers, Cappodica, Meteora, etc, but in reality, it could end up being a whistle stop tour of Middle Eastern Mechanics!! Seriously, the car's in good nick, so my main concern is bureaucracy. I reckon I can make it back to the Emerald Isle in style! Let's find out....
