7. 12. Crossing the Mauretanian border






7. 12. starting early in the morning after a sip of coffee, second portion prepared for beeing cooked while driving. The water we had bought in the last village had disappeared mysteriously (probably we drunk it), so no dishwash.

After a few meters our Steyr got stuck in the soft Sahara sand. Out of the car, collecting stones (and photos), shoveling sand. On the second try Manuel made it - back to the road and go.

Sandy endlessness on the left, the sea on the right sight, hours and hours.

At about 5 p.m. finally arriving the border to Mauretania. Our Steyr was scanned before leaving Morocco, we asked for a photo of the scan. They showed us, but could not give it away: top secret.

Leaving Morocco the street ended. No more pavement, rusting car-wrecks in the sand. End of civilisation? Igor found a nice dividende for one of our lucky shareholders.

We were the last ones this day crossing the border.
