S I dont know if you noticed but that last group of camels looked really fat and healthy
C Yes, and didnt they have lovely coats
It was time to escape...............
Northern Morrocco seems rather hectic and busy in comparison to last week or so but is full of life and very freindly.
Mum, I dont know if everyone else can see your comments on the blogs or just Christian and I. If they can, you can tell Grandma that I am sorry to hear that Hobo is very poorly and everyone who is reading these blogs is thinking of him as well!

We are back at Boujador having grockled it up in the dunes.
Did a camel ride and walked the dunes.
Sheik Gibbo _ my left hand nails are being cut rather than chewed these days....dont know how to break it to you but Christian enjoyed his camel sandwich. Dont ask him what it tastes like unless you want the answer CAMEL YOU IDIOT.
Nomansland xing was better this time in that Christian only got a puncture in the daytime (rather than stuffed his clutch in sand by the landmines in the dark last time).
We are having a few days hard slog to get off the 1000 mile flat windy dusty coastal plain and into Morocco where we plan to slow down amongst the most amazing hosts I have ever met (and strip my carb which is jammed from the dust which gets absolutely everywhere)

C's bike temporarily sorted by mechanic put in touch Spanish consulate. Turns out that Fred the mad Frenchman who lives on the beach at Nouadhibou has an Africa twin habit and has been a great help. Sarah (from Yorkshire) the French consulates wife was a great help also providing contacts, internet (and beer) to assist - we are now hoping it will get us home. It has been ok for the last 2 hard days slog from Nouhadibou to Nouakchott and inland to where i write from in Atar. The weather is hot but the wind/sand/dust make travel difficult.
We have had to cut out Mali and Burkina as neither of us had anticipated the relentless wind which has severely limited the distances we can travel. Instead we are going to Chinguetti for a couple of days to grockle it up in the sand dunes, ride camels etc....
Christian just had a camel sandwich and said it was good!!

Finally managed to get to a computer with normal keyboard.
We have had a few probs with Christians bike - the latest being a shot clutch which is taking a bit of organising when the nearest Honda dealer is several days travel............
Comms here are v limited. Phones don´t work. No text and using poshest Hotel in Nouadhibou, Mauritania to get dial up internet.
Will bore you all with stories of Christians clutch failing in the middle of nomansland in the dark with mines for company when we get back.
The weather is HOT
The people are great
Chriatians bike is a b*************.
