Once Off-road, always off-road!
I was hooked and insisted that we do another off-road track through the mountains, so, we chose a route and off we went, up at an angle of 45 degrees with hairpin bends like I have never seen before, on a sandy rocky surface with slipping wheels, up to 2000 meters.
Margot was screaming and my stomach was a lump!!!
And what a beautiful trip it was!
The frustration is that it is impossible to show this tension and excitement, neither on photo nor film.
At 1300m we visited the Majlis al Jin cave. (meeting place of the spirits).
This cave consists of one huge dome, 120m high and 350m wide and has 3 entrances at the surface.
People have abseiled into it and some crazy "base divers" jumped into it resulting in the cave being closed to all trafic. So all you see in the photos is a huge black hole in the surface.
I tried lying down on my stomach and crawling closer to the edge. A screaming Margot and the blackness of that hole persuaded me to stop that endeavor !
Once again we spent the night perched on a cliff 300m above a wadi, with a fire and in total silence with only the stars above.
Life is so unbelievably beautiful!Read more
