Day 74 Sunday 29/11/09

Leaving Derna we drove to Tobruck on our way to the Egyptian border. We were taken to a building on the outskirts of town that looked like a Libyan police station, but it was in fact the site of Rommell’s underground bunker (which we didn’t find out until after the visit) and the resting place for the remains of a WWII B52 bomber and various big guns. We then drove out to the war cemetery for the commonwealth troops and paid a visit to the memorial for the German troops too.
We spent the night at a partially built house on the outskirts of the city thanks to another of Hussein’s many friends that seem to be positioned all around Libya. MC and EP deciding to camp in the Land Rover again as the house was basically a building site!
