Yeah – we did it. On 6th December we have arrived in Laufenburg. And happily we’re back on our main road from Maseru 2 Punta Arenas. Finally our trip Ouagadougou 2 Laufenburg took us 4 months’n’6 days. We made 21.800 km, without any accident or mechanical problems and our tyre maintenance was limited 2 the repair…
By now we’re a little over a month in Morocco, but still on our way home. Maybe it’s not the most direct road 2 Laufenburg, but somehow and somewhen we’ll reach it. Our last post ended on Tizi-n- Aït- Hamed this spectacular mountain pass going up 2 3000m altitude. 16th November 2014 Once back from…
After a long time, we’re back. For some 5 weeks, we could simply not access our website. After asking our dear provider we learned that he does not provide this service in this country. Whatever that may mean. We put some energy in friendly correspondence with them without a too concrete answer. But finally, we…
After having crossed all kind of Mauritanian’n’Moroccan flats the last week we needed some more hilly areas. So we decided 2 visit the Anti-Atlas with its numerous mountain chains, valleys and its hidden villages high up on the hills. We took the road thru the mountains 2 Tafraoute … …

No longer as adventurous as it was some 50 years ago. The nowadays open north-south passages limited to the 1 in Sudan we crossed in 2012…
The great celebration of Tabaski is over. The whole week was very quiet. The roads rather empty, most people still on leave, digesting loads of mutton; the cars were rather empty – not a single sheep could be seen on the rooftop anymore. On Tabaski we had our huge plate of spicy mutton. Before leaving…
Sunsets are nice, but after some time they get boring. Always the same sun, the same beach and the same lousy guesthouse – even if it’s the only one currently opened. Well, we left Paradise Guesthouse – convinced that hell may be an option 2 paradise and moved on 2 discover a new country: Guinee…
After Monika has finished eating the whole stock available in a pharmacy thinking that chemical food may be good against fishy malaria, we finally got her back 2 normal food e.g. chicken with fries or fries with chicken; it depends on the offer. Last week, we drove quite a bit 2 the west. Currently we’re…
2 days ago we reached our 1st waypoint on our way back 2 Swizzyland. We reached Bobo Dioulassou in Burkina Faso. Some 400 km west of Ouaga – very important to state: Bobo lies on the direct route to Laufenburg. 2 reach this important town it nearly took us 7 weeks and more than 5000…
