Well yes and no. I am planning the trip with my brother and his wife, so for the Paris to Gibraltar part we are planing a few days in paris and a few more days in Spain just doing Tourist stuff. The Europe leg will be longer than it has to be just for that reason. I believe we are going to send his wife home in Spain and it will be just me and my brother in Africa. So, we will probably pick up the pace of riding. Of course we will still want to stop and see things, but that section will be more about riding and less about stopping ;-}
Thanks for the post though, you answered my question. Having never been to that region before I just wanted to make sure that we would have extra time if we needed it. I don't want to feel too rushed and I don't want to stuck truly unable to make a flight out of Dakar.
Cheers
BFM
