Choum-Nouakchott
Mauritania, what is it? A dangerous desert full of terrorists? When you watch the websites of the governments and the lonely planet it is. However I can for sure say this is not true at all.

The Ore Train in Mauritania

There might be nothing more adventurous than a ride on a freight train. And even better if it is one of the longest trains of the world and goes right through the desert of the Sahara.

Dakhla-Guerguerat
05.01.2019
Last evening I finally met up with Adrian and Fabian. The two guys from Switzerland are travelling with their Bicycles from Cape to Cape (www.cape2cape.org) and we’ve been in contact for a lot of time. They were once three weeks behind me but they didn’t rest as long as I did and so we finally meet.
We have a lot of Stories and things to share but we are all tired and after a good Dinner we go to our hotels. Somehow we will meet again anyway. Our Route is quite similar.

There is the desert. Not nice sand dunes and palm trees as you might imagine. Just stones, sand and some grey bushes
