Leaving Zedar

Today we left zedar woods and run through fiddles villagesmountains, amazing to see how people still live. But very impressive.We've went through several small towns, one in which we stopped and had localpancakes, it went fast and we were so hungry that we forgot the camera in the car .. Bought more water .. We drink more and more each day..Today we've had diverse temperatures  since we left 2000meters height from the camp of yesterday, and the run down about 1000 vmeter. Last night was a cold night around 5 degrees and we lay and sleep with clothes on.The temperature was17 degrees this morning to 30 degrees at the warmest.We have seen some monkeys along the way, but is difficult taking picturesof them.We've passed some Fauna Camels.
This morning we met children who had resess from school, when we came byfrom the mountains ay 2000meter. All smiling andwaving. We pave our way earlier today through narrow mountain roads where we suddenly encounterded a road marked, clothes and rice and lamb, etc. hangingaround everywhere ..Martin is quick to lock the doors of the car, which we always are carefulwith, you never know when people get too over anxious and sell us things andjust close the car doors, we can not stop along the way since we still have a long road ahead. Today we set up camp not far from the black rock (The Black Mountains)as it is known, and we begin our ascent there tomorrow morning,We will rise from 1000 meter and up to about 4500 meter. This will make it more difficult fo the car gettign oxygen, and we'll expect seeing black smoke.We have made it so that Martins driving, and I'm available to sit and write on the computer and get ready to blog and upload when we stop for the night, so we do not have to sit with this when the sun goes down, we switch regardless of driving regularly throughday.

It's not easy publising the pictures and driving at the same time. But we'll publish pictures at we go.Tonight we eat the stew from Germany since we are a little tired froma bad night's sleep from yesterday night due to the cold, so it will be instantly heatedand swallowed down :-)Another day closer to the Sahara for us and everything goes very well with us and the car ..David and Martin.(Ps think of you LM / MJ / DE I love you, from David ...
