Today we've stopped to camp in the Zedar woods, and got some shade from the strong sun. We just stopped in Azrou a small town on the road to the mountains. We have traded food and more water on the market and had some hot food at a cafe right by the road where we have eye control on the car.
Today Temperature's of 30 C in the lowlands, but here in the woods it's 22 C at 2000 meters. In the car it's about 25 C. Everything is bright and we have slept well last night. It was a very windy night, at times we thought the roof tent would collapse. Rumors say it's a sand storm along Algeria, but blowing west and will move us closer to our route hopefully ....
Tonight we'll have a good long shower and treat our selfs a little extra. It was a great experience this morning taking a shit among cactus and all the weird sounds around the bushes ...
We've had a problem with the refrigerator, it has stopped at times, but found out the reason today was a switch failure, but I quickly fixed it, and now we have ice cold drinks at 2 degrees C :-)
Otherwise there is not much new to report about the car. It cruises along stylish without any problems at all. Arctic Trucks is turning stir in the country, but it's incredibly comfortable to cruise through the country with such an units..
Martin and I have heard through all the thousands of songs 2 times on the ipod in the car, and talked a lot about people and all the new impression and culture. Time flies and before we know it we're through Sahara and on our way home. We miss and think of our family, especially when we see so much unity the local people have down here .. But then again, we think the weather in Norway is not a tempting thought, when we have so lovely weather here in Africa. It's a trip we've worked long and hard to reach, so as the time fly things simply go too fast and it's hard to take in all impression .. It's processed bit by bit when we get home.
Otherwise, there are several 1000's of pictures we have taken, but it's slightly random what we post on the blog. We simply don't have enough time to work through every picture since it takes too long turning up a new camp every time. And last but not least, we are hungry and tired, it requires a lot sitting for hours in the car concentrating, when only the heat itself is enough to exhaust us.
Some photos from yesterday evening and today ...
