On my way to the north, driving back home, I’ve got 5 days left and 9000km to drive

Direction Nioro, North-East Mali

Very useful tool: The compressor. My spare tire had to be inflated first.

Hitting 118000km

Broken tyre this time. It’s sometimes difficult where to place the jack. I collected some stones to place the jack on so I could lift the car, instead of the jack digging itself in.

Entering the real Sahara again

Saharagelber in the desert

Baobab tree

Driving to Mauritania, close to Nioro

Sign close to the Mauritanian border

Main road to Aayoun El Atrous (Mauritania) Driving and driving…. and driving.

Sahara sunset

Bush camping with the Saharan nomads. I asked some nomads if it was okay I stayed with them, they were okay with that. That evening I sat with them but we couldn’t exchange any words, they didn’t speak french but only their local language.

Cooking gear

Relaxing and enjoying freedom
