Tunisia 2002

 

We arrived Jerba a day before our bikes and had to kill some time without them, so we went into town and to the beach....

      

  

These are some of the crazy group posing at the beach of Jerba

Then the next day the truck with our bikes arrived and we could start our trip!
Beautiful scenery near Jerba. The first day was over soon and we enjoyed dinner in the middle of the desert somewhere. 

Fortunately there was enough beer to get rid of all the dust in our throat.

The next day was pure fun in the sand...
.... and again the evening...

The next day we made a little hardcore enduro trip in the mountains. It was more climbing then riding the bikes!

But again nice views out of any civilization.
The next day we finally entered the sandy areas.
 

Drifting on a salt sea can be a lot of fun but as soon as you have to clean the bike from all that salt and sand it is no fun anymore. It is really hard on the bikes!!

Flat tires happen...
... in the middle of nowhere!
But our guide always knew some places to get some drinks!
Sand, sand, sand.....

Unfortunately I had to go home early due to an accident. I rode to fast over a dune and crashed! A couple minutes unconscious, a headache and a couple of thorn ligaments in my right shoulder forced me to fly home and get an operation.

And that was the end for me.

I guess I will be back to the deserts sometime....
