Disputed territory
... count of the number of times we got stopped at checkpoints (although we did cover 1400km to get here from Marrakech).

What you really want during a 26 hour drive is an interesting panarama on which to ...
Desert Camping and off to the Border
Had 38.6c fever last night starting midday so didn't take any photos or did much as a result. Took 500mg paracetamol and felt way better, almost like normal. Jay had been very busy selling on the street and getting rid of as much stuff as possible. I popped off a few shots from the hotel window.

I Layoune skulle vi snabbt svänga förbi banken på morgonen och ta ut lite euro innan avresan därifrån... vi kom iväg vid 13.30. Vi hoppas i alla fall att vi ska hinna till ökenfestivalen i Mali i januari (den enda tid vi har att passa).
Hoppas en skön julstämning har infunnit sig därhemma och vi önskar eder alla en fröjdefull Lucia!
