so far this has been an incredible
experience but there's just too much
best
in the Far West of Africa you can find
the lesser-known desert country of
Mauritania and at its borders with
Western Sahara even more obscure town of
Nouadhibou this sleepy little town hides
an amazing attraction that remains
undiscovered even by the most
adventurous travelers the longest train
in the world two and a half kilometers
of car loads carrying iron ore from the
town of zoo arid inaudible after
unloading the cargo the Train returns
empty back to zoo era our goal is to hop
into one of the empty Carlos and travel
13 hours through the Saharan desert to
the village of Shu to always stop on the
way to sweater
we were shopping in a shop and suddenly
a mauritania guy that is able to speak
only Spanish and Arabic approached us
and he said he took the train several
times and we are going to talk about the
train he also said that we should be
very careful because it's quite
dangerous I'll update you on the
situation after our talk so those guys
were not from era taenia but from
western sahara which is one of the few
countries in the world that have not
been officially recognized how cool is
that drinking tea with fellows from
western sahara by the way there are
really friendly and generous but they
told us one very intimidating thing the
train we are taking tomorrow is often
robbed by gangs I'm not sure if I
understood correctly but if you're white
and if you're having a camera there's a
high chance something bad will happen I
think the real adventure starts now just
a quick lunch at a local restaurant
camel meat here delicious and we were
good to go
ladies and gentlemen it's time for the
biggest adventure of our lives let's go
buying a liters of water and some food
okay
we're at the train station of Nouadhibou
there is just desert all around us it's
very abandoned and solitary and I'm
doing this video secretly because apart
from two other passengers that are
waiting for the Train there are five
police officers here with us that told
us that it's illegal to make a video
here we are waiting for the Train here I
shouldn't be doing videos but this is
just too interesting and exciting for me
not to do the video there are only like
40 people for 220 cards and the train
will be arriving very shortly in like 10
minutes I'm extremely excited
the adventure begins
the show back hasn't it
everyone has been warning me that I
should put this cloth on my head because
there's a lot of dust from the Iram or
when there's no dust I can breathe
if there's dust I'll just do this and
I'm okay
we're just messing the train that goes
from the other side but there's just too
much
I hope you can hear me and I will the
dust will not be going to our eyes for
the next 13 hours Wow
it was time for the Mauritanian classic
a strong sweet black tea a few minutes
into the journey we are surrounded by
nothing but the calming endless vastness
of the Sahara and the dust from my
reward
they just brought me some tea this is
one of the best experiences of my life
drinking tea with locals on this train
it's been three hours in a train and I
have to tell you it's much better than I
expected
it's not hot at all inside the Train
because we're constantly in shadows also
we haven't been robbed yet there are two
little problems though the first one is
the dust from the iron ore and the sand
even though I'm wearing this scarf my
mouth and nose are full of that shit
also I really need to piss and I don't
know where and how we should witness
beautiful Sahara Desert at night it's
about 2 or 3 hours and also the amazing
sky of stars
he's getting pretty dark it's like 8:30
p.m. look at the sky
there are gonna be stars in like 30
minutes I really look forward this is
beautiful this is the reason why you
travel an amazing moment like this
Wow
the train finally stopped after six
hours for a toilet break my bladder was
about to explode the hell is wrong in my
lens oh it's the sand get it much better
it's still a surprise that this camera
is working after six hours in these
conditions
this is the last video from the Train
it's 137 a.m. we're stopping in about 10
minutes in a little village called
Truman we need to hop out of the Train
really fast because the Train continues
so I will not be able to hold the camera
by the way the stars are really visible
and beautiful but this camera is very
very bad in low-light we may try
not sure if you saw that see you
initially we arrived at Schumer our
transport is here let's go we are here
we made it
it's 3:00 a.m. we're heading to our Tata
we should be there at 5:00 a.m. I really
need to rest
we haven't slept for 21 hours we haven't
eaten for 10 hours but we made it we
made it it's over we are in ATAR good
night
