I wish there was a handle for me on this
bumpy road but
this morning we are on our way to the
infamous Senegalese Mauritanian Russell
border which is known for its thieves
scammers and corrupt police officers I
definitely won't be filming the border
crossing as I would get fined or even
arrested immediately so I really hope to
see you in mauritania mauritania is one
of the least visited and scarcely
populated countries in the world it is
also the last country to abolish slavery
in 2007 we begin our journey in the
allegedly dangerous town of Russell just
turned out to be quite safe well we are
in Mauritania and we got the visa
without any problem I have no idea why
people say that this border is so
annoying and so bad it was the fastest
yes this ever actually took like five
minutes yeah are even joking with us
yeah really nice people so far well
welcome to Mauritania I guess we are
currently waiting for our bus to the
capital mashallah the Mauritania part of
the border is totally different from the
Senegalese part it's so abandoned there
are no people in the streets half an
hour ago we were still experiencing the
vibrant African madness and here is just
you can almost hear the wind blowing no
people very very different
often walk shot
this is definitely one of the worst
roads we've ever taken
randomly bumpy there is a huge hole
every 10 seconds it should take around
five hours
I wish there was a handle for me on this
bumpy road but
[Music]
after five horrible hours we arrived at
the capital to find out that the only
thing worse than what shields name is
its traffic I said that the car had the
worst traffic I take that back
lock shot or new scanner whatever the
pronunciation is has worst traffic there
are absolutely no rules here yes this is
a very confusing traffic light with both
red and green light on also this guy is
not greeting me in walk shot he's
calling me an Mauritanians really don't
like cameras anyway we arrived at our
hotel safely a lot of mosquitoes here we
didn't expect this I'm not gonna make
any conclusions because I've spent only
a few hours here in the walk shot walk
shot my impression is just one word
madness I'm too tired to even talk good
night cool cool said I can kooler my
French is getting better every day I'm
still but it's getting better by the way
we found this here
it's called melon milk I was drinking
this in Oman when I was volunteering
there this is probably the best thing
you can drink if you ever see this in
any part of the world you have to try it
melon milk
big day today first of all I'm getting a
haircut from a Liberian some of you may
remember my haircut in Tanzania yeah I
looked like a mushroom all the kid stars
had a haircut like this I still look
like a mushroom from the 90s and I
really hope it will not be the case
today is good thank you
if Harry Potter from the Chamber of
Secrets and Noel Gallagher from the
Oasis adopted a kid he would definitely
have hair like this so I think it's time
to cut it as you can tell and as you can
see the Sun is really strong today
[Music]
very very I think this is better than my
Barbara in Czech Republic thank you very
much thank you so much Morris Wow look
at this I also sweated a lot after that
we're going to see the biggest mosque
here in in walk shot I think it may be
the only thing worth seeing here in this
city I hope I will not get arrested
because people tends to get aggressive
they are shouting whenever they see a
camera Saudi mosque is the biggest
mosque in in walk shot once the people
noticed I was shooting this particular
slow-mo video they started shouting at
us and told us to get out rewind and
after that we are going to try some
specialties from West Africa in a Kenyan
or Jane Ian Ghanaian restaurant Ghana
yeah Ghana that the country in West
Africa
we're at the Ghanian restaurant here
having something called fufu
thank you so much is that okra
yes fufu with okra this is gonna make us
happy again
[Music]
pretty good plan for today let's go
since we did everything we planned it
was time to move six hours up north to
the city of Nouadhibou where we wanted
to execute one of the craziest things a
person can imagine heading from the
capital city of Mauritania unwatched
shot - the second biggest city no
anymore we have a huge huge plan in this
city I'm not gonna say what it is it's
probably the highlight of our entire
African trip see you in the know I
people plot twists we got off the bus
and a lady that was travelling with us
invited us to her house and now we are
here we haven't eaten in 10 hours I
really don't know what to expect right
now we've been waiting here for 30
minutes they're chatting behind the door
what's going on
[Music]
I really need to start working out
because I haven't worked out in two
weeks since I came to Africa so it's
time for a little app workout
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
that wasn't enough the weather outside
is absolutely perfect
let's go and ramen
the weather is just brilliant like 23
degrees Celsius there's a slight breeze
so refreshing
[Music]
[Applause]
this city is so vibrant at night I love
it also something flew into my eye and I
don't know if it's thank me but it in
hurts that was a great round my eye is
still kind of sore I hope it will be ok
time for shower and then dinner we are
cooking here you're gonna be with us
this is couscous by the way this is a
very provisional cooking we're gonna
cook it here since it would make no
sense to buy a whole bottle of oil for
just two days I'm squeezing the point of
the canned tuna Gordon Ramsay would be
proud there's also no salt or pepper
[Music]
this is probably drier than the Sahara
Desert since we are really hungry and
the food is very very hot we're putting
it under the fan this is an absurd
process taste test
five stars for the effort zero stars for
the taste to point five out of five it
needs some salt and pepper it's very
very dry desperately needs some salt and
pepper Bon Appetit
it's the end of this day big thing
coming tomorrow we're looking for it
right big thing coming tomorrow see
[Music]
