     Thanks for the tips, I hope to make this trip happen pretty soon ! And I liked the tip about asking permission before you take a picture, aint nothing i dislike more than seeing tourist pushing their cameras in locals faces !!

     Titti, Enjoyed a wonderful virtual tour of Mauritania. Do as the Romans do - sleep in the tents! Noted that your introduction showed that you have use HTML markers - VT support only VTML and it is easy to use. Cheers, SL

     Lovely photos and insightful tips. It must be great to sleep in a tent in the desert. (Thanks for your help on the Verona Forum.)
