Sahara part 2

We started the day again at the Monkey fingers in Dades Gorge. One of the best views of my trip so far, and plenty of time for some posing on the cliff!

We then drove further into the desert stopping at Todra George. Here we had a tour of the oasis with a Local man. We walked through their dense gardens of figs, peaches, courgettes and cabbages and he  talked us through the irrigation system that allowed water to be used conservatively to allow plant life in this harsh environment.

We then went to one of the villagers houses and had a demonstration of how a loom was used to produce rugs from different materials, my favourite was the baby camel fur. We watched whilst sipping on Burber whiskey. Unfortunately this is a type of tea, not liquor as we hoped!

Back on the bus, we played some shag, marry or cruise. This game involves having a choice of three people and shagging one for one night, marrying one (kids and dog included) and spending a year on a cruise ship with another.

My favourite selection was ursula from little mermaid v ms piggy v mrs potato head.

Richard decided that he couldn't cruise with ursula as she would be constantly plotting. He would walk into the cabin andcauldrons  be everywhere because she wanted to win the rhumba compitition or something.

We continued until we ran out of road by Merzuga and started into the desert, on camels!
