Greetings
Sorry for the lapse in comms on this trip but we were on the road (sand) a lot and internet access was rather limited.
Be that as it may, the trip was fantastic and most educational not to mention the really hospitable and friendly people we met wherever we went.
It is a peaceful Muslim country with so much to give but not beer and wine to be sure :)
We traveled mostly close to the coast far north to Banc De Arguin an amazing coastal national park with a very rich diversity of ocean and bird life.
We then went right down to the Senegal border where the desert runs in to Acacia scrub and is also beautiful in itself.
The the Sahara desert is simply stunning in its vastness, stark beauty and desolation.
Here follow a selection of pics which ends with a view from our hotel room in Nouakchott and toward the top you will see the same scene after the wind kicked up a bit and one could only see two blocks in front of the eye/lens.
Take care
Paul and Angelika
