Had a feeling this is what you would do. Makes sense. Now you can have another 90days max back in Morocco when you are ready. This was an interesting video, good to see what its like there. Last two people we watched there about 7mnths ago was Lavi and Olly who are attempting a world record youngest couple to circumnavigate the world by motorcycle. Your crossing looked good. Great feeling, full tank, stocked up with supplies and open rd. Yay. Agree, border crossings are always a mix of emotions, excitment and apprehension. Door jamming open!.... Friendly welcome and yes it took a bit of time but no problems so all good.Huge improvements there, my friend back in the 90's said the road was like a dirt track and needed guides as old mines around and the border police were not that pleasant. Different times, different lives. So happy for you all. Amazing adventure. Looking forward to seeing Mauritania 👌👍😊

[@gavinsteiner3759]

Yes roads have improved in most parts 😊 yes so many people on adventures everyone does it differently. And yes it will give us another 90 days 🤙

From my experience watching lots of bloggers crossing Mauritania is one of the difficult journeys. I will say cross it as fast as you can and don’t let it stop you from continuing you journey through Africa. But once you head south deep in Africa is totally another world and lots of adventures and enjoyments Also make sure you get as much diesel as you can before leaving Morocco as next country diesel quality is bad and stinks

[@youssefelmoussaoui8673]

Hello the best task force team ever hahaha. I wich you a safe travel in the south of Africa, be careful of water, always drink water in bottle or you can use distilled water in the van, some mosquitos also especialy in equiatorian countries.. Mauritania is a safe country overall, may be you will find it difficult to find gazoline statiions. Sure Morocco will be the best warm country. How did you find Dakhla? Safe travel and best luck to Oscar and Harry. Love, love & love.
