The final day of our World Record Run started near the border between Lithuania and Latvia, so we realized that we could be some hours ahead of our schedule. The main challenges that could destroy our plans were our last border crossing between Latvia and Russia, which often takes a lot of time, and low temperatures – about -1,5˚C, so roads could be icy.

Second day of the run began for me exactly 24 hours after the start. Our car was crossing through Atlas mountains pass on a narrow road. Read more about From Africa to Europe

We started our way to Dakar from Saint-Louis early in the morning. But when we left our hotel, we were immediately stuck in the traffic jam before the main bridge “Pont Faidherbe”, which crosses the Senegal river and connects the historical part of the city with the new one. So we had time to admire the french architecture of Saint-Louis once more. Read more about On our way to Dakar

On the second day of our stay in Nouakchott we decided to film more and take some pictures, which can define this city as a very extraordinary place even more. So we asked our guide Idoumou to show us something interesting. And he decided to come with us to the camel’s bazaar – the biggest one in Mauritania. Thousands of camels are here!

At night we left El Aaiun and started our way to the Moroccan border. We had to drive about 700 km on the highway, crossing the desert. The more you go to the southern part, the less is there to see – except sand and sun. And it is very hot outside the car – our onboard computer recorded a maximum temperature of about 47,5°C! A crazy hot temperature! Read more about From the desert to Mauritania

We spent the second day in Morocco in another big city - Agadir. We were pleased by the good condition of the Moroccan highways, so we made good progress driving to the south. Also we were glad to meet a german speaking taxi driver, who helped us making car to car shots of the Amarok. In the afternoon we met with the German Consul in Agadir.

The day in Spain was very long and started at night, when we entered this last European country before coming to Africa. We had to drive on Spanish highways for a long time, from the northern part to the southern one. During our way to the port of Tarifa we saw many different landscapes, from fields to mountains, so we made some interesting shots of it. Read more about Welcome to Africa!

Yesterday evening we entered Poland and went non-stop to Germany all night. It was a good practice of intensive driving, how we'll do it during the world record. Early in the morning we entered Germany and, of course, we were very pleased driving on Germany’s Autobahn – this is a real German’s honor! Read more about Across Poland and Germany

We started our scout tour of «Amarok Dakar2Moscow» near the junction between Moscow Ring Road and M9 Highway at the «Moscow» sign at 7 am. This will also be the place where we will finish our world record drive, when we’ll return to the Russian capital at the end of April. So we made some photos there and drove directly to the border between Russia and Latvia. Read more about Through Russia
