After the African leg of our journey was completed, we turned our compass north and aimed towards Western Europe. When we arrived at the port of Algeciras, our first site was the lightened up Rock of Gibraltar. It was way…
Although the route south from Dakhla heading into the rest of Africa has always been a playground for overlanders, Mauritania still remains a little more than a transit stop between the better-known attractions of West Africa. It took me a…
