At least 7,000kms later, six countries, lots of petrol, pushing of cars, high dramas, amazing scenery and very cool people we have made it safe and sound to Banjul, Gambia. This will be where the cars are auctioned off with the funds going to local charities here in the Gambia.
More again later including our top pictures from the journey....

Not quite in Senegal
After a long day of travel we are back in Nouakchott, Mauritania. On arrival at the border the Senegalese authorities refused a visa and sent us back here to get one. The British all got through no worries but NZ seems to be on a black list. We're now travelling solo for the rest of the trip as we sort our visa situation out.

Driving through the desert
We made it! The past three days we have been driving through the Western Sahara desert. It's been heaps of fun, while challenging, but a memory that will last a lifetime.
The group of us that travelled together, stuck together, and helped eached other out each time our ol bombs got stuck in the sand, which we might add was very often.
The dust and sand was overwhelming but the landscape was amazing and well worth the stress. More photos to come
Tomorrow he head for the Senegal border which will no doubt be an experience in itself. It is meant to take about 8 hours to get through.
