Offroading and repairs...

After offroading in the desert dunes yesterday, today T & G tackled offroading over a mountain..... and sustained a small amount of damage...... probably due to bragging in the last blog entry about only having to change a fuse so far! They said they thought that the dunes were scary until they met the mountain!
They are now just outside Merzouga where they have managed to find some mechanics who have fixed the crushed exhaust, made a part they think is to do with the gear box and are now making some protection for the undercarriage so they can go offroading again. While they were making coffee they also fixed the bonnet catch and cleaned the air filter... all this without being able to speak a word of each others language, now thats a service! As for how much, they will let us know but as they say there, probably no change from 5 camels!
Sounds like they have a bit of catching up to do after their repairs but think they are planning to spend the night where they are and head off early in the morning for the next leg to Tinerhir.
