This point was about the middle of between Nouadhibu and Nouakchott.

ここがヌアディブとヌアクショットの中間地点くらい。あと半分だ～

I have been cycling and cycling towered boundless horizon for hundreds kilometers. I've never kept seeing such a flat horizon in my life.

果てしなく続く道。こんなに長い間地平線を見続けた日々は後にも先にも無いでしょう。


Camels.. How many camels I have seen... a lot
ラクダはいつもながら沢山いる。


The sand buries anything.
砂に埋れゆく電波塔。


In Mauritania, people transports anything by small Taxis.
何でも輸送するモーリタニアのタクシー



As the highway went close to the ocean, I started seeing people selling dry fish along the road.
It costs 1000 oulugya, about $3 for one. It was expensive, but I bought it since my food stock was running out.
In this village, I asked people for some water as well. I got 10 litters for 1000 Oulugya.

だんだんと幹線道路が海に近づいてくると、道沿いの集落では干し魚が売られるようになって来た。1匹 1000ウギアとかなり高額だったけれど、食料が大分少なくなったので補給しておいた。
その他にも水を10ℓ 1000ウギアで譲ってもらい、魚缶も大分高かったけれど補給。ジャガイモとかニンジン、卵なんかはどこにも売ってない。




It was really hot day. When the east wing is strong, it brings really hot air from middle of Sahara desert. It nabs my energy.
It was the time for Red-bull. I hide it in my bag.

今日は暑かった。やっぱ東風が吹くとサハラ砂漠内陸の熱風が運ばれて来て猛烈に暑い。体力の消耗も早い。そこで秘密兵器レッドブル投入。


Have cycled for 111km. I stayed at a military checkpoint again. It was 96km away from Nouakchott.
111kmを走り切って今日も軍の検問泊。ヌアクショットまで96km残すのみ。
