HI PEOPLE, me and my husband want to travel from spain to dakar with our 27 years old volkswagen van in january 2007.We want to drive the atlantic coast street trying to avoid the sandy parts/pistes that obviously our van cannot effort. We need uptodate news about:
- is the road in the nomanland between the marocco to mau still a sand piste or has it been paved recently?? Is it ok to drive for a normal old vw van?
- information about insurance for the van. we have a spanish number plate and our insurance told us that morocco will be coverd by the insurance. What about mauri and senegal?? Can we make a temporary car insurance at the borders? Where and how much?? Is this related with the carte grise?? (actually what is it??)
- carnet the passage, i went through all the 72 pages of this forum and i know there is a lot about it. But i'm a bit confused about the carnet the passage and the laisser paisser. I understand that the laiseer paisser you can get directly at the border paying some money and having your passport stamped( If so how much does it cost??) and is it just needed for mauri to senegal??
- is the Rosso border still not allowing more that 5 years old cars going through?
thanks to all of you can give me really up to date infos. Hugs barbara
