3 days of desert

18.05.2006 45 °C

Yesterday evening I returned from my desert trip. Great people in my group. The highlight was a camel-trip and a night in a Berber camp. I`ll publish some pictures very soon.

On the first day we drove through the Atlas mountains and stayed in an hotel located next to a river and a massive stone wall.

Then we visited a Berber family who tried to sell us their carpets. After that we reached the real sand dessert (before it was stone dessert). We rode on camels to the Berber camp and missed to watched the sunset from a dune. Though the dune was still nice. In the evening we listend to Berber tales and spent the night under the open sky. Just imagine how cool that was.

The last day was manly a 10-hour driving day, which I continued with a 10-hour driving night on the train.

All in all a great trip, if my stomache wouldn`t hurt like hell now. I blame the salad and/or the watered orange juice.

Best regards
