Day 3 rock paintings and relief sculptures

Slow start. Long walk as sun comes up.


Petit dejeuner, then rolling but at a slower pace.



Sully seems to be the navigator.


The route seems new to Hassan.
Much more impressive paintings.






Long lunch 10:30 stop, lunch prep till noon, eat (delicious cauliflower-egg combo) then hang around watching Abdullah shave Akmed's head.
Finally take off at 2:30pm
The pace is glacial in this desert.






The great sand dune versus vehicle contest.


Dunes win.
Sully drives better than Akmed!
Sully takes Akmed for private dune driving 101 (we think)

Dinner, delicious soup and veg stew.
Stunningly banal dinner conversation.
Paul is unaware that he has any difficulty walking. We have now stepped into the world of fantasy.
Bacardi is my friend.



Only 19 miles today
