Zorbing in Port Vila, Vanuatu. If anyone has the opportunity to do this, is like being a washing machine for humans. Great fun.

Got on this train for a pub crawl through Noumea:


To drink this much beer during the first 45 minutes at Pub #1:


So I could go from looking like this beforehand:


To this, by the second stop:

Pag, doesn't matter how blind you look when there is a lady of that calibre by your side!

Crossing the Sahara ain't what it used to be given the Atlantic coast road is sealed all the way from Layounne to St Louis (apart from the heavily landmined couple of k's of no-man's-land between the Moroccan and Mauritanian border posts). I suppose the only danger is from being kidnapped by Al-Qaeda, as three Spanish NGOs found out only four days before we were due in Mauritania. Ironically, due to the kidnapping, it was probably the safest time to travel down that way in years thanks to heavy military presence. Here are some pics of the journey:

Leaving Dahkla for the Mauritanian border meant an early start hitching a ride with some dude who doesn't speak French or English, but at least we got to see a Saharan sunrise.




The landscape can get a little repetitive...




No-man's-land and the burnt out shells of cars that strayed onto the landmines.




Nouadhibou has definitely seen better days, but the people are amazingly friendly and the kids love the camera.




Nouakchott ain't a pretty place, but it's port is where the action is at, the seas abundant with fish sustain the lives of many a local.




We made it! St Louis in Senegal is a fine place to recharge for a few days.

Great effort mate. What are the Nannygai like ? Never had them, but always been told they are good eating.

I'll let you know tomorrow as I BBQ a few of them up tonight along with some sweet potato chips !!!
As for the catch, well they turned the sport 'fishing' into 'catching' pretty easily... double headers till we bagged out in half an hour...

that is awesome mate, I spent 9 months working in Western Sahara mainly out of Laayoune in 91/92 as part of an Australian Army Contingent working for the UN, quite an amazing adventure for me who was so young (26) who had never really been out of the country

9 months in Layounne! Crikey, I was bored after one day there Seriously though, there is some spectacular scenery there if you can get to it with your own vehicle and Dakhla is a windsurfers paradise.
