. Anyone around Nouahddibou ?
Hi all !!
Anyone in or around NDB ,could just confirm me that my LandRover (Zebra-stripped 109 CSW, Series III , Spanish) is still in "Camping-Baie-Levrier"(NDB) ?
I left the landy there in the camping for a few months , I plan to fly back in March to resume the trip , but now I Can't contact the Camping Manager .
I just need a confirmation that my car (and the camping !) is still there
THANKS A LOT ! .
Javier.

Thanks a lot for that reassuring information !!
I have received a few emails asking me about the price and/or Douanne-customs issues of leaving the car there.
Well , Ali (the campsite Manager) has a price of 300 euros for both the 3-month car-stay and the Custom/Douanne passport Clearing , and the re-issue upon my return of the LaizzePAsse.
Dont know how he managed to clear the passport , but the fact is that I was driven from the camping to the airport-tarmac in a quite dodgy taxi(!) , and given back my passport just upon entry on the airplane (i.e. didnt stamp-out my passport , nor even customs/police check/ nothing !!! Bribbery at its best !
He says is kind of routine.
Every extra month after these 3 months was around 50 euros apiece. Definitely not cheap at all , but (as my employer insisted on paying all the expenses necessary to get me back in UK asap -sudden IT backup dissaster - I didnt barter/negotiate down the price at all.
The good thing on all this , is that in a few months , I start -from day 0 - in the middle of the desert in Mauritania !!! , not the long boring drive France/Spain/Morocco.
Have a nice day .
