Desert Soul

It was nicer under the surface than above it.

30% of all deaths happen at home. Stay way out! (I post at Karl Heinz's Magirus-truck door.)

Another chance for good deeds on the road. Photographed in Tatouine after towing the pick-up for 16 km.

16.3.2010 | Ksar Ghilane, Tunisia

After the visa conflict arose between the Schengen states and the Great Socialist Peoples' Libyan Arab Jamahiriya I'm being forced to take shelter in Tunisia. Due to the conflict duration, my friends that are about to reach me and were planning to be my guests in one of the most beautiful deserts I know, will apparently have to satisfy themselves with Tunisia.

My friends Robert and Etieen Milič, the co-creators of the Desert Mobil, together with Matevž Hribar, will disembark on African soil this Saturday and head towards me, waiting for them with all my cavalry in the south. While waiting my companions and Algerian or Libyan visa, I met Karl-Heinz Dambeck, in the Sahara better known as Benemsi, and we spent a couple of days together on Djerba, fixing his broken spare-wheel holder. Together with his 60-kg "puppy" Kali, he joined me last naight at Ksar Ghilane. Ali and Boshra form Qatar had been already there when I arrived.
