YAY…HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!
Today was the birthday excursion for Sarah. It was a second choice as the first choice was sold out weeks before we’d even started our cruise. We were thinking about the 4×4 Land Rover trip we’d done in the Azores(see here) but couldn’t really get excited…As it was much hotter here and the thought of being crammed in the back of a Land Rover really wasn’t doing anything for us today. So what we thought was going to be an anticlimax…Turned out to be the best trip of the whole holiday! Oh and i’d just travelled in my best vehicle of all time! 😎
The 1961 Yellow Unimog…
Awww friends….Let me introduce you to this Yellow, 1961 Unimog…..have you seen the tires, lol! It threw us around like crazy and i still can’t believe that he didn’t slow down for anything. There is no way a vehicle can hit rocks, huge pot holes, climb cracked hills and go around tight bends whilst travelling at break neck speed, it would have destroyed anything else and left them in a pile of spare parts, lol. I’m not sure they issued these with brake pedals! 😎
Arawak Off-road Safari…
First, we climbed into the Subi Rincon hills, where the amazing yellow Unimog stopped at a set of time-worn Indian caves.


the beauty spot, Seru Largu. This cross-topped monument sits on a raised platform, setting Sarah up with panoramic views of the capital, Kralendijk.



I’d love to drive one of those!
Hi Anthony…Yeah me too!! If they hadn’t taken my driving licence off me when i went blind 19 years ago, lol…I’d defo have one of these now!
It was simply fantastic! Sarah & i were airborne from our seats lots of times and it was fun just trying to stop ourselves from flying out of the side! 😎
As an old driver myself, i kept saying “There is no way this machine should have survived that” and “Wow, that was way too fast for that corner or that hole”. My old car would’ve been out on the first little crack in the road.
