Day 70 Wednesday 25/11/09

We started driving when it got light and planned for a drive of around 8 hours to reach Benghazi. All was going fine until we stopped at the road side at 11:30 for a “comfort break”. Setting off MC could see JC waving frantically in the wing mirror. Stopping, we found JC had no power on the bike! We were in the middle of nowhere and had a dead bike! After a call to the bike mechanic for any suggestions and trying to jump start the bike, JC guessed that the problem was with the ignition switch, so decided to try hot-wiring the bike. This worked and after an enforced hour break we were on the road again!
We arrived at Benghazi by evening and drove through the outskirts of the city. We camped just off the road near Dariana.
