Today was our last day in Mauritania. A quite beautiful route, mostly off road passing through remote villages and across open grassland stretching to the horizon in every direction. In a word this is not just a big country, it is 'ginormous'. Now, many of you may think this is not a real word, just a made up combination of 'gigantic' and enormous'. Well, you'd be wrong, just ask Harvey. If you still have doubts, consult Chambers, I did.
We finally entered Mali without too much fuss. It was not without a sense of relief that we sped away from the border. Whilst Mauritania had its charms and I will miss the funny little checkpoints with their funny little guns, I could do with a beer.

I was beginning to think Helen had abandoned you. Is the photo bona fide? Just looked at some of the videos and don't feel so envious just full of admiration.
Can't wait to see you both but it probably won't be until after Christmas.
