The Berber way of life...
We took an overnight bus from Fes, which left an hour late. Since we had arranged for a driver to
pick us up at the Merzouga station, in the middle of no where, we were slightly concerned but it was out our ha
nds. We just hoped that he would be there waiting for us.
The moon was quite bright out so we could see
some of the scenery but with the way the driver was halling a* we just tried to sleep through it. There is

Into the desert

Step 18: Sahara or Bust!
... in the morning we stopped at a little strip of shops for a break. One o'clock in the morning and there are people cooking freshly butchered cattle, lambs, and eating full meals. The life style here is insane!
At 7:38 a.m. we finally reached our destination and walked to the Hotel Riad Nezha. What a lovely place! We enjoyed a yummy breakfast of jams, breads and fresh squeezed juice and then took a siesta to rest up for the fun-filled journey ahead of us! ...
