A long day was expected. From Kebili to Hammamet, including a brand new special stage. Take the pin and let’s go! The first part leads directly through the Chott, the largest salt lake in the Sahara. Who exactly goes on the fixed path, experiences a natural spectacle of an exceptional kind. This gigantic plain without the slightest elevation makes you feel like flying off. Unbelievable. But beside the pist it could be uncomfortable. Iris and Heiko write a track around the Chott for the case the salt lake should be to moist in autumn. Which would a real shame.
The next part of the special stage leads us over a small pass through a fantastic mountain scenery. Certainly nothing to find the lost hours from the days before. Here, everyone should take the time, to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the last rally kilometers in 2012 and to take home this experiences. The finish line with the rally portal is in the plane, so that all service teams can be there. A great ending.
Now we are in the Hotel Le Sultan in Hammamet, the traditional end of our Tunisia rally. Jorg is still in negotiation about the “party suitability” that could improved in 2012. 😉 But we have already considered alternatives, so that a proper ceremony is nothing in the way.
So, that it was from the pre-tour: The routes are written. With or without El Borma, it will be really good on the El Chott 2012!
Greetings from the desert.
