Thursday, January 2 was a long day of road to cross the Western Sahara up to Tarfaya celebrates stage of the saga of Air-mail with the monument dedicated to Saint-Exupery as well as Spanish fort. I visited it in 2005 at the time of the raid carried out in the Sahara. Since the city changed much, the edge of the beach was arranged but alas sand invaded the structures. I bivouacked on the carpark with the agreement of the gendarmerie.

Sunday, January 5 the highway from Agadir to Casablanca via Marrakech carried out me to the Settat rest area at approximately 86 km away from the Mercedes-Benz dealer to carry out the revision of my vehicle. While presenting on the opening hour, 8:30, I hoped that it will be dealt with this Monday.

Monday, January 6 I moved towards Casablanca to carry out the revision of my truck by Mercedes-Benz where I arrived around 9:00. My vehicle was dealt with around 10:00 and I recovered it around 15:45. Staff discovered in the database that it had been revised on January 8th, 2015! After restarting of technologies of navigation I left Casablanca to find the highway to Tangier. I stopped on the rest area of the Total gas station.

Tuesday, January 7 I hoped to find a rest area before Tangier-City; alas I arrived at Tangier-City shortly after midday. I thus decided to go to the port to take the ferry at 15:00 for Port-Tarifa in Spain. I was the first. The loading was rather long because it was necessary to pass immigration then the truck to the scanner. The departure was around 15:30.
