Libya 2010

Free

10.2.2010 | Rebiana Sand Sea, Libya

The way to the 150 kilometres-distant Rebiana looks quite ok at first... ... afterwards, the horizon gets rugged by troubles, also depicted on my truck's sides. I just keep driving, not knowing where to bite into them.

As we reached Kufra we said goodbye and the next day all of them flew via Benghazi to Tripoli. I received from the police a document that allowed me to TRAVEL ALONE IN LIBYA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!

Story in pictures

5.2.2010 | Al-Aweinat, border between Libya, Egypt and the Sudan

Let's start with this one then, although it was only taken in the evening But this is how the day actually started. Mohsen, Anas, Basheer, Ricardo, Sallah, Adam and Omran. No, don't click on

I knew it would happen! Magnificent location, excellent company and a few days on the same place. Magic!

Caravan's arrival

4.2.2010 | Libyan Sahara

Good morning, Aweinat! From left to right: Sallah, white Toyota driver, and Omran, black Toyota driver, chatting about the upcomming day under the silky fondling of the Sun. A fox passed here at night.

We finally took it easy and relaxed after days of running by pitching a camp on one place for a couple of nights. As I told you before, the place was magical. In this and the following posts you'll be able to appreciate its beauty.

Chadian rebels and tyres

3.2.2010 | Libyan Sahara

She passed away... ... somewhere here on the Sudanese border. Mohsen and Shukri waiting any urgent calls through the SAT phone.

While listening to the stories of the police guys I unwillingly made some parallels with those, hiding behind garbage containers with lasars in their hands. I know not everybody should be lumped together, but what can I do, those 72 kph on one Sunday evening on the outskirts of Ljubljana are still spoiling my stomach. The guys, patrolling Southern border actually don't know whether they will see the next day.

Racing through the desert, bearing a choleric and slaughter

1.2.2010 | Libyan Sahara

Strawberries with cream topping. Well, why do you ask nonsense? Later on I was wondering what would have happened had I run, lost somewhere in deep desert, over my friend Adam who officially doesn't exist in Libya. Photo: Shukri Fteiss Nice, isn't it?

Given the fact the truck and I were giving a service, it wasn't all land flowing with milk and honey. Instead honey, jam, smashed fu***** tomatoes, hydraulic and engine oil would flow, all this spiced up with sand.
