• Finding a Spot for the Night

    20 de diciembre de 2020, Arabia Saudita ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    It was getting quite late, I urgently needed to find an overnight spot. Once it gets dark, it is near impossible to find something decent. I am turning off the road when my car drives through quite a deep ditch and the spare wheel falls off. Low and behold two guys come driving up the same path and immediately solve my spare wheel problem for me. Whilst we were chatting he opens his bonnet, pulls a bottle with what seems water to me and refills some of the contents in a smaller bottle which he hands me. As it turns out this was vodka that he had stowed away just in case. Somehow I did not have a good gut feeling with those two so I said my good byes and drove off. By now it was well and truly dark, so I drove down the next track I came past, parked on the side in the sand and called it a day.
    The next morning I woke up from what I felt like trucks driving directly past me. I peek out the window and yes!!! I was parked directly at a sand mine and the trucks had to drive around me to get in and out.
