The Beach Road
A week after crossing the border we finally had 40km to do before arriving in the capital of Mauritania - Nouakchott.  The famed route to the capital is along the beach and so for 40km we travelled along skirting the incoming waves but not always missing them.

Quick Link

 


Tyres set to a low pressure, four-wheel drive engaged we followed Luca & Sameena onto the beach and headed South.  The driving was easy but if you choose the wrong line you often needed a push to get going again.

Plenty of fishing villages
 


The wrong line...


But a push is always at hand...
