> Back to civilisation
Day 51 - 5520km Nouakchott, Mauritania
Hi All, me and my new found French companions have finally ridden out of the beautiful but endless desert and have arrived in Nouakchott, the Mauritanian capital, to indulge in a binge of salad and fruit eating and obsessive showering. Existing on bread, tinned fish - when I could stomach it, biscuits that had more in common with polystyrene than a sugary food source, the occasional bit of pasta or cous cous with tomato sauce, one lethal portion of camel and brackish water, with little or no opportunities to wash the sand collecting in every orifice of our bodies, it is an absolute pleasure to be back in civilisation and we're taking full advantage of it! Unfortunately I overlooked the fact that the Mauritanian working week ends on Thursday so I can't apply for my Mali visa or sort out any other things till Sunday, even managing to get online today has been incredibly difficult and I`m going to have to dash. More to follow....... thanks for all the msg's of encouragement!
Have your say:
