Day 16 - Peugeot has gone
Relaxing morning on the beach waiting for tide to drop. Then whiz the 100 or so kms along the beach and dodging through the sea and around rocky sections. Excellent! Some more high rev sand driving to get off the beach and we’re back on tarmac at last!
Into Nouakchott. Find rest of the group but quite reasonably they are not keen to risk 4×4s to go back for the Peugeot. So she will have to stay back in the dunes very sadly. We talk with guide he sorts our export paperwork so we can get out of the country without the car and he gets the keys for it in return. If it’s still there.
So we are going to go with the main group back to Bamako direct. Too much to get all 5 in the Audi to Dakar on our own. Another team “Boxy but good” kindly offer to take one of us plus lots of bags. Yet another twist, a new route and 3 cars now lost unbelievably. Good but expensive french dinner, this is almost as pricey as London, and some welcome cold beer.
