We journeyd into the western heart of Africa, from Morocco to Senegal. We used every means of transportation possible and we arrived safely at our destination. From busses to a ferry and then God surprised us with the best transport we could imagine through the Mauritanian desert - two big, luxurious Mercedes taxis! Never would I have thought to travel through the desert, let alone with a Mercedes.

We had a journey filled with laughter and surprises as we travelled from Morocco, through Western Sahara and Mauritania to Senegal. All in just three days. We arrived late at night in the cities where we were to sleep over, but God provided accommodation every night. We had a great but challenging time to keep track of all the currencies to buy food as we changed almost every day. We were so used to a currency stronger than the South African Rand, but to our shock we paid 1000 for bananas and oranges! Luckily it' s in Mauritania so it is actually very cheap even though a thousand sounds crazy!

We arrived at our destination safely, through much laughter, great sights and a long time of sitting.
