We finally made it to Almeria, Spain, today. Right now we´re enjoying an icecold cerveza with tapas at a local bar and we´re lovin´ it! 
The ferry to Morocco leaves in a couple of hours and almost all the cars have made it so far. 

Sebastian would like to add that: "he´s so tired that he´s having an out-of-body experience". 

We took some really nice pictures today, but due to techmical issues we´re unable to upload them right now. Hopefully we´ll be fully online once in Morocco. 

We received word from Mr. Adama today that the situation in Mali isn´t nearly as bad as portrayed a couple of days ago. He assured us that our route is quite safe. We´re also happy to tell you that almost all cars from the Adventure category will be going to Bamako as planned. 

The Phoneix, which really should have been named "Copernicar", is doing very well. Fuel consumption is down to acceptable after changing the diesel-return pipes and replacing the exhaust. The car only gets a little hot now and then if we push her too hard up the hills. Good thing we installed an extra electrical fan. :)
