Tour guide Oumar has agreed to take the wheel for the 400 kilometers that lie ahead. For Immo, this is all a huge catastrophe. He doesn't know if he will ever reach South Africa. They drive through the desert towards the sunset. While it is still light, they pass a steep passage out of the mountains to Atar. In the city, Oumar quickly finds another tow truck and they head north. Day 11: From Atar, the two continue on. They spend the night on the road. The towing continues as far as the small town of Fderik. Day 12: In the hotel, Oumar and Aziz explain to Immo what they are going to do next - namely with the ore train. Nobody knows whether it will be today. At least the Honda is pushed onto a trailer. And the three of them can actually travel back to Nouadhibou without the Honda. The car is supposed to follow on another train. The journey, which takes a day and is not very comfortable, becomes a game of patience. Day 13: After what feels like an eternity, they reach the city where the journey in Mauritania began and where Immo's camera is still with the police. Day 14: The Honda has now arrived on another train. Immo picks it up together with Oumar. They take it to a workshop on a tow rope. Day 15: They go straight to the workshop. But there Immo learns that the gearbox damage has not yet been repaired. Such a disaster right from the start. Immo drives to the sea with Oumar and Abdoul. To clear his head. Day 16: The next attempt at the workshop. Will the Honda be repaired - no. That's why Immo has made a decision. Without knowing whether it will work out, he buys a new car in Mauritania. #Roadtrip #SouthAfrica #Africa #Honda #BorderExperience #Vacation #DreamTrip #Chinguetti #GearboxFailure #Atar #TowRope #Desert #Atar #OreTrain #IronTrain #LongestTrainInTheWorld #Mauritania #Nouadhibou #LandRover #Landi "Pathfinder - Through Africa at the Limit!" is a documentary series by Immo Mäueler.
