NOUADHIBOU 1st December 2024 DAY 214 + 215

Was a lazy day did all my laundry for the week, two socks ,two underwear, two shirts and done. Organized my bike and got it camelized from some remnants I found in the desert.


My Garmin In Reach Mini has died on me, so that's a problem cause there's no Garmin help over here and I have no tracking and SOS now. Hoping when I get to Dakar I can get some help or mail it back to the US. 
Two bikers showed up today heading to Cape Town, a Swiss and German both solo and another couple in an Iveco. Was the one guys 60th so we had a nice cake after a curry dinner, but no alcohol still, only a few more days and will be able to have beer again.





DAY 214    Monday 2nd December 2024
477 kms.

Finally left Villa Miguela aka Hotel California and headed south to Nouakchott on the coast and Capital of Mauritania. The asphalt road was not good, same road I came up in the taxi but now could at least see the desert as it was nightime on the way up.

Got here at 3pm and then went to fish market by the beach which was rather interesting, not what you would normally expect. Got a bungalow on the roof at Auberge Triskell ($16) and met the Chinese guys again. Had a good fish meal and a shower and am ready a peaceful sleep which is not possible here with all the Mosques.
