Starting early again and driving, police stops every now and then, and animals on the street. Policemen ask for „cadeaus“, small presents like pens or lighters, some of them insist on T-Shirts or pants, preferably new ones. We were a bit tired of this official street-robbery and gave them old clothes we got from the French travellers we met at the beginning of our journey in Morocco. It worked.
Around 5:30 we got stuck at a control post: they saw Stefan with the video camera on the roof of the truck when approaching. They insisted to watch the video, and Stefan showed them. “C´est ici?” – “Is this here?” No, this is Mauretania, beautiful country, beautiful landscape! They were satisfied and let us go.
We were amazed by the green of the land, when suddenly we noticed, that there was a huge flood, one village almost completely under water. The street was closed for traffic, but a Toyota Landcruiser ahead of us tried, so we did the same – and succeeded.
Spent the night in the desert.
