Columbus Ohio Alignment

Sahara - you soon ..

A feast of camel meat and dates in the hospitality tent for the last Wuestencamps on our route ("Roi du Beduin" in Laayoune) us - despite the mood of farewell - conciliatory. The night then we have to spend in the bed of Landi, as the wind had freshened up in the Western Sahara Sturmstaerke and it is impossible to open the roof of the tent.

now we are back north of the Sahara, the boundary line is approximately at the height of Tan Tan (300 km south of Agadir). From Agadir we drive on the Tizi'n test - a snow-covered Atlas Pass at 2100m sea level. Not a bad contrast: Two days ago, still sweating in the heat of the desert and now frozen snow in the Atlas. However, we quickly flee back to the warm coast back to enjoy a few days to a comfortable 25 degrees.

The accompanying pictures show a few interesting views: A sign warning of mines is included in the north of Mauritania. A silent witness of the war with the Polisario, which dates back to many years (70s and 80s). But the land mines remain, threatening the Bedouins and herders still. It shows once again how hard it is to get rid of these insidious weapons that almost all victims unter der Zivilbevoelkerung fordern.

Die beiden anderen Bilder sind im Atlasgebirge geschossen. Die lokalen Ziegen klettern scheinbar lieber auf Baeume als auf Berge...
