We did it!

Last night, hardly anyone slept, so worried were we with what would await us today.
80 Km's of soft sand going down one dune and up the next.
We were all sure that we would spend half the day digging our cars out, if at all possible!
The most likely outcome seemed a car rusting in the dunes after years of wind and salt with two skeletons leaning against it with shovels in their hands.
We started shortly after sunrise to use the dew, which wettens the dunes at night and makes them firmer.
The first leg was 5km's ending on top of a dune. Then down hill and up an even steeper one, and so on.
The miracle is that no one got stuck except, hold tight, our instructor Tommy!
Everyone was mega concentrated, drove calmly and never stopped.
It worked!
And then in the.middle of the desert, a mosque for the nomads that used to come through here on their camels only a few years back.
That is where we are spending the night with a nice sand storm by courtesy of the wind, our eternal friend.Weiterlesen
