Biwakleben and off to the northeast

Liasion to Al Qaisumah- another 600km drive. But first quickly the water aria part 2 - however, thanks to the tank truck and 2-stroke pump (started with hand and rope) quickly done. Breakfast in the bivouac,

Preparing trucks, etc.

Then the heavy rain came in the so-called Marathon bivouac. Marathon means that the race vehicles are not allowed to receive mechanic support - so they have to stay there alone overnight. However, canceled because the whole bivouac was like a lake.

So stage canceled, off to Al Qaisumah- a place near Kuwait, Iraq and the Persian Gulf, but upon arrival- at night, rather muddy and cold- it had rained nicely here too.

Since there was hardly any work for the team doctor (except for straightening a few backs and treating gastrointestinal problems), he does the work himself: just trapped Richard, our cook's finger in the seat bench set....
