DepartureScheduled for departure at 8:00 a.m., we loaded our veteran Toyota Landcruisers. Our caravan consisted of 7 passenger cars (seting 3+driver) and a pickup with an excellent kitchen staff. One car had to be exchanged, the interior smelling too heavily from spilled petrol. Finally we left Sebha around 8:30. | |||
