An extremely successful start to the week when a surprise in the post brought our Algerian visas! After initially contacting a number of Algerian tourist agencies and UK visa agencies, we've spent months worrying after scaremongers told us we'd be lucky to get them within a month of posting them and no way could we get post dated visas! So after writing to the consulate with an explaination of the drive: change of drive direction, political situation along the North African route etc, they've kindly post dated our tourist visas for 25th July...so a big round of applause for the Algerian Consulate!
Bit behind with these photos from the Lakeland Motor Museum in Cumbria, but...better late than never! A fascinating museum set close to Lake Windermere and well worth a visit. 
Great little gem in the lakes with a detailed exhibition on Sir Malcolm and Donald Campbell, the father and son team who between them captured 21 world land and water speed records in the Bluebird series of cars and boats. Donald Campbell was tragically killed on nearby Coniston Water in January 1967, whilst attempting to break his own water speed record. The museum holds Donald Campbell's Bentley in the signature Bluebird blue!
Some amazing pictures of the original Hardknott Pass - pleased we had an easier time getting over or didn't require the need for any horses!
Donald Campbell's Bentley stole the show for Tony with the signature Bluebird colour and the addition of a legendary bluebird.
