.....nach zwei Tagen Sand- und Staubsturm sind wir nun scheinbar im Herbst angekommen. Sonne, aber kühler Wind und - man staune - Wolken!!
Die Kasbah ist gästeleer; ich hab meinen Riadh wieder für mich alleine!
Und da ich hier so schreibfaul bin, werd ich euch mein Leben hier nun wohl mehr per Bild nahebringen!
Liebe Grüße,

1128 End of my Draa Hike (Mor 370)
