And good morning it is day number two
It's before 8:00 we are about to head out on our next adventure
Here's the party wagon
To start off our second day to get to the Sahara our tour bus made a stop in the city of Tinghir
a town built in an oasis that sits on the edge of the High Atlas mountains
Our local guide brought us through the farms and the old city and
Introduced us to a local rug making family that invited us in for tea
Their cat really liked me
Just a short drive into the mountains brought us to a gorge that holds the river that gives life to the oasis
You can drink right from the natural springs
Onwards towards the Sahara
So we're at this rest stop in the middle of nowhere
Can't see any sights of civilization for miles
We're not in the Sahara yet, but I think we should be within maybe an hour and a half of more driving
There are people with camels away over there
All right, we are here. We are packing our overnight bags
Well, this is exciting
I've been waiting for this for months
months
This is the literal starting point of the Sahara
See this over here. It looks black, it's because it is. It's volcanic rock
Take two steps this way and it's just nothing but dunes
The sand is so fine, it's like dust
Here are our modes of transportation
He is not happy
Hey PJ, what do you say?
It's so beautiful here
Going down
Ooh. Can't walk now
Thanks, PJ
Wah
Can you walk?
Barely
I think a root canal might have been more comfortable
They're not super comfortable to ride
What time is it?
It's dinner time
So we just had a good dinner of soup in tagine.
You should see these stars right now
Unreal
There's no light pollution so you can see them so clearly
I've already seen one or two shooting stars already
Hey, you're not bad
Let's go, let's go
Good morning guys. It is 6:00 in the morning. We have our wake-up call. I think they're pushing us towards the camels
Well, that was quite an experience
yeah, we just
woke up before sunrise, rode the camels right back to where we started and now
We're gonna get a little cleaned up and pretty much just make the long drive back to Marrakesh
How was it Joe?
It was amazing
I've been wanting to go to the Sahara for a long time
Slept in the dunes last night. It was great
