Big 21 km hike up through the mountains

Early start. 5.30am breakfast for a 6am start.
Saw the sun rise.
Hiked through nomad country. Met some herders with their sheep 🐏 and goats 🐐. I had to tell the city folk the difference! 😂
We made really good time so got to our lunch stop by morning smoko but we were still very hungry due to the early breakie.
Had lunch in a nomad's cave.

Up and down big mountains and gorges. Reminded me a lot of WA Kimberleys. The mules were walking with us most of the day.

Terri got sick and had to go last few k's on a mule. We think it was dehydration with maybe a bit of heatstroke. She was getting double vision too which really scared her. Between 3 of us nurses and the mule she got to our accommodation and recovered well. I told them the Aussie trick of cooling yourself down by pouring water on your whole head, not just your face. That helped.

Afternoon tea then Berber henna session.

Late tea because the people who were supposed to be feed us forgot about us as they were doing their end of day Ramadan stuff. Can't really blame them.Read more
