DAY 4, LEG 16 - Dakar to Nouadhibou
After a quick fuel stop in Dakar I headed north to the sparsely populated country of Mauritania in West Africa. My stop was to be in Nouadhibou which is located almost directly north of Dakar on a peninsular known as "White Cape" in the very north-west of the country, less than a mile from the border with Western Sahara which splits the cape. Mauritania is over a million square kilometres in size with a population of just three million. The main economic activities revolve around fishing and iron ore production.
Shortly after take-off from Dakar.
