Today is hot and finally we arrived at the erg. An erg is an area in a dessert with sand dunes. Goby has only 3% of erg and in theory in this area it doesnīt rain ... does it?
No, definitely, not. As soon as we arrive, a sand storm wellcome us.

So we went into the ger for the lunch and after that Antonio and me decided to go out for a walk to climb the dunes to see the landscape.

After a bit of effort, we were in the peak of a dune. After this big dune, the rest were small ones and again the green land. We could enjoy the view for a little time because we could see how the rain was camming and we returned to the ger running.

We had lot of time before the night arrived so we went to a ger camp close to us to drink something and to go to a 'REAL' but public bathroom with a shower (2.500T to have a shower), Marta played with the children and we had dinner ... well we didnīt eat anything it was bad food, so the goat ate the dinner.

During the night, Marta, the night watchwoman, discovered some mouses in the ger trying to stole our food!!! So we had a curious night chasing the animals ... well realyy, Marta told me it during the morning because with my ear plug I didnīt realize anything ...
