What a crazy feeling it is when you drive your tiny home into the desert!
As usual we were welcomed, and offered mint tea, by everyone who passed by
These boys on their bikes enjoyed a photoshoot
We could only take our vans so far
We left them at a campsite in the rocky desert
Then booked a driver to take us by 4×4 the rest of the way
Aziz could probably compete in a rally driving race. It was a complete rollercoaster ride bouncing around and speeding over the dunes, sometimes reaching 60kmph
We stopped at an oasis for lunch
Then arrived at our very strange and surreal desert camp
And went on a walk in the dunes
It is one of the most magical places I’ve ever been
We sat on top of the tallest dune to watch the sunset
Went back to camp to eat dinner
And then spent the evening outside by the fire, gazing at the amazingly clear stars
Harry and I had a go at a bit of astrophotography. These were my first attempts…
I’m only just learning to use all the settings on my fancy camera. After about an hour of trying I managed to capture these
I was quite proud of them as it was a big improvement from the first attempts
Then I saw Harry’s pictures…
I still have a long way to go, but practice makes perfect and I won’t give up!
We got up early to watch the sunrise and then headed back to the vans. Overall a fabulous experience. We feel very very lucky.
