Set off from dunes with sad green stationwagon and headed back to the road. Said goodbye to our guide at the fuel station where we discovered again that dollars are useless and we needed euros, iball is now skint!Convoy separated and glenn stayed with steve and they ended up towing using the red discovery all the 230km to Norachott, through various police checkpoints.
We found the recommended hostel on entering the city and established contact with the French proprietor who duely arranged for his friendly mechanic to come to help. Lovely place but less lovely moods amongst the team… Arranged to fix the car and got our mali visas before moving on out at about 3.45. caroline did her washing with a local girl (toddler) and was later found feeding her a kinder egg.
Stopped in the dunes again overnight about 7pm. Team getting very efficient in places! Chilli for supper! Little apprehensive about the border out tomorrow.
