If you have paid € 100 in bribes for using your own car, you know that you really are in Africa …
Visas for Senegal and Mali arranged
Last days the Yellow Monster and I played in the Sahara, of course got stuck and got dusty. Today in Nouakchott the visas for Senegal and Mali have been arranged what went un-African smoothly. Tomorrow to Senegal.
Arrived in Dahkla
Today I arrived in Dahkla and met Land Rover couple Paul and Kate again. Tomorrow we will go to Mauritania together, then the adventure really starts.
Crossing the Oued Noun river with the Yellow Monster
Happy new year!
Last couple of days we spent in the desert of Erg Chebbi. We’ve seen a beautiful first sunrise of 2015 above the sand dunes. Have a fantastic year!
Barber time
Today I went to the barber, so I can give Helen, Wendy and Afsane a good kiss with New Year in the Sahara 😉
Happy holidays!
From the snowy Atlas mountains: Happy holidays and a fantastic new year all!
Farewell Ouzoud
This was my view for the last three days, I really enjoyed it here but it’s also time to move on. In coming days I’ll be going through the Atlas Mountains and camp wild. Bye bye luxury of a hot shower, see you in Marrakesh.
Champagne at the Atlantic coast
From the busy city life in Rabat to the Atlantic coast, a great moment to open that bottle of champagne I got from Jaap.
Obtaining the Mauritanian Visa
Last night I spent the night in the Yellow Monster in front of the Embassy of Mauritania where I had to do my visa application at 8:30 am. The guard of the neighboring Embassy of Ivory Coast made this possible and kept an eye on me at night. While awaiting the visa approval I’m enjoying a nice breakfast.
