 The GPS road tracklog
 from Dakhla to Tarfaya
 from 2020/01/02 to 2020/01/02

Tarfaya

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.

 The GPS road tracklog
 from Total rest area to Port Tangier-Ville
 from 2020/01/07 to 2020/01/07

Port Tangier-Ville

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.
