My Amazon tale is now on Caramel's website in both English and French. You can also read the accounts written by other crew members of earlier stages in the rally or just look at their pictures if your French is a bit shaky.

Your French is probably not as shaky as the newsreader's English who in reporting yesterday the death of a soldier in Afghanistan announced that he was from the Royal Logistical Corps and pronounced the last word as corpse. A bit ghoulish I thought.
