Itinerary description
|
Second part of the day. The route follows the route of the Seita River (actually the Saguia), which gets a little closer to the area of the military wall. It is an area that at the time supported the front and in which it seems that battles were fought.
Although that is now history, the military presence is large and it is inevitable to meet them. At the end of the day, while we are making camp, a patrol appears with a couple of all-terrain vehicles that identify us, take note of the vehicle data and ask us about our origin and destination, worrying about whether we had water and Sufficient provisions and if we knew the route to Smara. All with the greatest education of course.
In the end, I don't know if he didn't trust our quartermaster very much, he gave us milk and canned sardines (very good, by the way), to which we reciprocated with some Paracetamol and Nolotil for one of the soldiers who showed a phlegmon almost like a fist.
In the field you always have to help yourself in everything you can. That night we slept peacefully knowing that a patrol was watching over us from the top of a hill (although, perhaps, it was because they didn't trust one hair of some foreigners, undoubtedly sick in the head, who instead of being in the beach, they were in the middle of a desert collecting dust) :-)
