REPORT - (No. 001) from PARTY
The first short report from the travelling group on the first convoy.
Update On the Road - 26th January 2003 (18.00hrs GMT)
We've arrived in Paris! No major hiccups, the buses are running well and spirits are high.
The diversity of people aboard this first wave of human shields is very cool. In terms of the trip to Baghdad this aspect is potentially one of the most rewarding. We come from such a wide range of backgrounds and, naturally, we have much to talk about.
Rajia, our resident British Palestinian hairdresser, has ensured that all girls onboard are looking their spunkiest. Unfortunately Rajia has run out of willing females and fully intends to make all boys pretty. We'll keep you posted on this unfolding drama.
We left from London with three double-decker buses and we're already living on top of each other. Once we've picked up everyone through Europe it's going to be quite a squeeze.
One thing's for sure: it's going to be very hard to say goodbye to these people when the time comes.
