i did similar trip some 7 years ago going by public transport to abidjan, although between layoune and nouadhibou i got a lift from a french couple as at that time there were public transport possibilities between morocco and RIM quite limited. now it seems it is easier also to get to nouakchott, i took then an the ore train and its famous "open air seat" to choum, with a little luck i got to atar. Tough, but this part of the journey i consider now the most unforgettable i ever taken. malian border i crossed between nema and nara in a bush taxi at the overloaded back with other 5 africans gripping 8 hours with fingertips the net fixing the load, but survived and in the end and home i would do the same route again...
