Sahara Travels: In the Pays Dogon
http://saharatravels.blogspot.com/2007/03/in-pays-dogon.html
Sunday 18 March 2007. In the Pays Dogon. If a set designer dreamed up an African village it would probably look like a Dogon. Village. They have a distinctive architecture that is bound to their culture and animist beliefs. Wall foundations are chunks of local sandstone, but the house and granary walls are a smooth blend of mud, straw and cow dung. The square, tall granaries are roofed in picturesque. We based ourselves in the clifftop village of Sanga. And each day drove down a steep track to explore th...

http://saharatravels.blogspot.com/2007_05_04_archive.html
Friday 4 May 2007. The Mediterranean coast of Algeria is to be avoided for security reasons, and the central deserts are not as dramatic as those of the South, comprising of difficult sand seas, or. So, like most foreign travellers on the route, we made for Tunisa, covering the remaining 600km to the border at Taleb Larbi in another long day. Con not missing the opportunity to get stuck one last time, rescued by a truck. Approaching the Tunisian border. Farewell to our Algerian Guide. The Dutch went to T...

Sahara Travels: 03-May-2007
http://saharatravels.blogspot.com/2007_05_03_archive.html
Thursday 3 May 2007. Sadly, there is no sign saying "thank you for crossing the Sahara, have a nice day". The changes come by degrees. At In-Salah we knew we would have the comfort of a tarred road all the way to the Mediterranean Sea, but there was plenty of desert scenery to enjoy along the way, as we skirted the. To our West and later, the immense. Was to be our companion to the Tunisian border. With beautiful grounds. A really magical old building with random steps and low ceilings, full of local...

Sahara Travels: Back Roads to Mali
http://saharatravels.blogspot.com/2007/03/back-roads-to-mali.html
Friday 2 March 2007. Back Roads to Mali. Somewhere in Mauritania it started getting hot, and now the car vents blow like hair dryers. The evenings and mornings are still very pleasant, and the sleeping bag is required at night. We have completed a Sahara crossing by the easiest. Route, and are firmly in the Sahel. At Kiffa. We decided to take one of the lesser used routes into Mali, and turned South onto a sand road. The Russian. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rom Kildare to Bamako and Back. Rent a ...

Sahara Travels: 16-May-2007
http://saharatravels.blogspot.com/2007_05_16_archive.html
Wednesday 16 May 2007. Land Rover for Sale. The adventure is over, and I'm back in Ireland, only three weeks later than originally planned. Sunday was the longest day's drive of all, 870km on the quiet motorways of Germany, Holland, Belgium and France. At Cherbourg the heavy duty springs finally got something to complain about - eight cases of wine and a couple of beer - and then it was onto the ferry for Rosslare and home. Days - 14,823. Miles - 23,855. Km - Cheapest fuel €0.15. Kg Lighter - 1455. Yet, ...

Sahara Travels: Nouakchott, Mauritania
http://saharatravels.blogspot.com/2007/02/nouakchott-mauritania.html
Sunday 25 February 2007. We have reached the capital of Mauritania, and civilisation of a sort, after four wonderful days of desert driving. Western Sahara became emptier, the checkpoints fewer until we reached the border, the place all bad officials are sent for punishment. It took an hour for them to stamp the passports, then a customs check, then Officer with Big Hat check, then final check from Man in Uniform Under Tree. PS When we reached Nouakchott we heard the news. Rom Kildare to Bamako and Back.
