We arrive in Tan Tan

Finally we arrive at Tan Tan. It's been a long trip through narrow mountain passes, and the result is a few scratches on the back rims and one running board got hit and got pushed backwards against the wheel. So we had to jack it out, but otherwise it went fine with us and the car.
We didn't get much time taking pictures today since we where so concentrated on driving the narrow roads, but we've filmed a bit.

We got to a well further down in the valley, and there was some herdsmen herding quite a few sheep standing next to the well whipping a donkey that pulled the water up from the well. It was quite a view in 40 Selcius, and the shepherds were wrapped in so much clothes that one could almost believe they thought it was winter. Something must have been wrong with the camera at that time, cause I can't seem to find the pictures that I thought I took :-)

It's not to much to report from today, but we did get to film a lot more today, and the footage will be published as soon as I get home again. Had to use the rear ARB today to crawl over some big rocks, and I was outside shouting commands to a sweaty highly concentrated Martin who was driving. We both sweated stressfully.

So today have been the most stressful day so far on our trip, and we where glad we got to eat a good meal yesterday. It was beef on the primus, and Martin was wondering how many chillies I used in the dish sweating.. Only a few I say'd smiling as the sweat ran down my face.. hehehe :-)

At half past seven each evening we hear the prayer calls yelling from the towns. The Morrocans pray up to 15 times a day, and its strange seeing them stopping along the road to pray. But interesting to experience. Today we're gonna take a shower and perhaps shave if we manage. We're really tired and its gonna be cosy just eating a good meal and get a good nights sleep.

More pictures will be posted tomorrow :-)
