Day 13: Arrve at Mauritanian Border

Too comfy so didn’t get away until after 9am! Bought bread on the way out of town and team got separated!!! Reunited and on our way. Drove a mighty long way with little of interest except coast, beaches and acres of desert! Paused for fuel twice and to play in the sand with more camels. Pete found some lovely fossils and sand blasted coloured pebbles. Thought that we might stop part way along the coast before the Mauritanian border but came upon it and ended up camping at the frontier. A little intimidated by the land mine fields so decided not to leave the road AT ALL, nasty little skull and crossbones signs!!!
Collected fisches on arrival so hope to be first through the border tomorrow after donating a few clothing bribes to my friendly border policeman and his two sons!!
We’ll see!
