Mr Fadhel and myself would like to apply our far-fetched traveling ideas to a more commendable cause, other than our own amusement and storytelling.
So, in early February we will attempt to travel up the coast of Vietnam by motorbike... ...and if we have problems getting a motorbike it will have to be push bikes!
The journey will commence in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and will finish in Hanoi - according to Google maps it's rough...ly 1760km. At the moment that's just a number to us and we are lacking any real concept of what we're actually doing, but who cares! :-)
Having spent some time in Cambodia - we've decided on the following two charities (focusing on education funding for impoverished children and land mine clearance):
Education: http://www.cambodianchildrensfund.org/
Landmines: http://www.halousa.org/operations/southeast_asia/cambodia.aspx
Please donate generously by clicking the charity of your choice below - and keep in mind the last time Carl got on a motorbike, he fell off by crashing into a Chinaman:
Education: www.justgiving.com/Carl-Fadhel0
Landmines: www.justgiving.com/Carl-Fadhel/
Seeing your names and donations will mean a lot to us and the Cambodians who, let's face it, haven't exactly had an easy time...
Much Love, Gent & Fadhel - (get in touch with any queries) xxx
