Half Way on the First Half

We're doing well. Off on time, more or less, and lunch at a little over 100 km. all in good order, but Julie is taking a break in the bus, followed by Suzanne after another leg. 

We are averaging about 20 km/h including stops, which is pretty good. The catering is fantastic and the only mechanical casualty so far is Musa's front wheel bearings, rapidly replaced by a spare wheel. 

The Police escort is terrific, and we're enjoying speeding through the towns and villages, applauded occasionally by the puzzled populace.
