Nevertheless, the planet's mysterious lure and the differences and similarities of its inhabitants soon prompted them into another adventure, this time the idea was to explore the African continent, thus beginning a three years to travel via Kuwait and Saudi Arabia by a faithful Citroen 2CV as their third travel companion.
