Thanks guys for your Xmas greetings and I would also like to take the opportunity to wish both of you and all of our fellow grey nomads a merry xmas and happy new year. I spent xmas 2017 in a moslem country where the 25th of December for them is just another day of the year. Actually surprised me to see that their shopping malls etc. were done up with decorations and lights - they might not celebrate xmas in the middle east but they sure do like the idea of having a party (obviously without the alcohol or ham).
For those intending to travel stay safe on the roads.
