And indeed. The journey had been too much. Pajeero was up and couldn’t deliver anymore. To underline this, he puffed some black smoke into the cabin, saying “don’t even try….”. So, we hooked up our car to the one who was following us. This turned to be a more challenging tow than expected. I’d expected they would have some experience here in towing each other but apparently it was the first time. To get our car into movement, each time the car in front was making some good speed before the cable was tight, resulting in multiple cable breaks. With every break we tied up the remainders of the cable, leaving in the end less than a meter between the two cars. Oh, and forgot to tell the first car’s brake lights weren’t working !. Don’t ask how, but we managed and made our way to our destination Morondava.

Police pursuit in bandit county

There we left our Pajeero for a few days rest and a technician could hopefully do some healing wonders. In that time, we got a new car, unfortunately with driver so we had to change our role into passenger, to continue our way to Tsingy National Park
