Western Sahara

So we have made it to the Western Sahara. The French keyboards are quite a pain for updating but weùll perservere. After our crazy night drive we headed into Rabat. Managed to get our Mauritanian visas in the works and ran into several other teams who were doing the same.

They told us they were staying in a clearing of woods just outside of town and we were invited to join. So after the embassy we all headed out to camp and we got a much needed rest and food. Afterwards, Anthony started to get over the culture shock attached with large African cities; the noise, the mayhem, the smell, etc.

So now we are in Layounne and looking to make it to Mauritania in two days. We should be able to make it barring any major setbacks. Based on the nature of our convoy it should not be a problem.

Wish we had more time to elaborate but internet cafes are slow and not very common. perhaps we can do a proper update in Noukchott while we are waiting for our Mali visas.
