In order to help the next group of people that wants to go down the same or similar route (France to Senegal) and to calculate the effective costs of the trip, I wanted to create something like a logbook. This logbook should contain :
1) the day-etappes inclusive the pro and cons of the departure and arrival points (in terms of parking/ sleeping safety and comfort, stocking and sanitaire infrastructure, managable distance to aimed deadlines of arrival, e.g. ferry or border closure)
2) place names/ marker of stops listed according to petrol, repair and food consumption
3) prices of consumed goods; e.g. petrol, diesel and bottled water the litre
4) diary of the things seen, experienced
I started creating an excel file (how do you upload these in a blog??), listing in the horizontal the countries with towns in the subheadings. Vertical are listed the genres like: documents and papers, petrol and road, equipment, personal consumption and communication with sub-themes like, eg; food, souvenirs, hotel, phonecard.. this shall allow to categorise and calculate the costs
But if you had any good suggestions on how to organise this sort of information in a managable and sensible way in a small car full of stuff... your suggestions are as usual more than welcome.
