Today we've driven past Assa and in to the Draa Valley, going onwards tomorrow to Tan Tan. Tonight we're gonna sleep out in the desert, and we've read and heard that theres a lot of scorpions out here so we're wearing boots with hight edges.
Earlier today when we came from Ta Ta we shopped more food and water, so tonight we're gonna enjoy beef with chilli, onion, and sweet potatoes with Morrocan bread. We got a few Spanish beer left. Don't need to drink to much beer down here in the hot climate, before you feel it kicking in, and the body gets weird :-)
The days passes by faster as each day goes on. Amazing how time flies down here when your concentrated on driving on bumpy desert roads. Martin's given notice a couple of times because I've driven to fast on some parts of the road, resulting in a couple of "head bangs" on the ceiling. It's not easy calculating each bump when the sun shines you right in the face ;-) But we laugh and I hit my head into the left door window a couple of times because of my own driving :D
Tonight we've slept really good. A nice full moon, and good shadow conditions around our camp as we wake up, but this day the temperature has been at a high with over 42 Celsius. The AC in the car has been on at full strength. After the meal this evening we once again check the bolts and screws on the car. Like to be sure that we don't experience a wheel flying by us as we head on :-). The engine doesn't use any oil, and the cooling liquid level is at 100 %.
The quietness out in the dessert makes our thoughts fly home to our beloved. We experience things different when we're on a trip like this, away from civilization, and the loneliness hits you in a different way.
Martin's just finished rigging the roof tent and we're both hungry, so I've gotta hurry rigging up the satellite equipment to send this blog message. It was way to bumpy today to write while we're driving.
Hope you all enjoy our blogging of the trip, and that you might feel some part in our adventure that we're sharing with you.
