I was woken at 4am to make our camel trek before the sun rose to avoid the worst of the heat. My camel got up before I had managed to climb on properly, nearly sending me flying. But my rodeo skills came through and I held strong.
My first error of the day was at breakfast. I mistook the butter for scrambled egg so piled half a block on my roll!
The tunes kept rolling as Mohammed our driver popped in his mix tape after 4 or 5 hours. First track, Lionel Richie Hello. Awesome.
We also played plenty more games including writing our bio's as if we were characters from the tv show Pete vs life.
Mine was as follows:
6"2.5
85kg
Likes:
The philosophy of Rock Balboa
Dancing when no one is looking
Malt loaf
Dislikes:
Pandas
Hippies / vegans
Un-necessarily spicy food
We also had a tyre blow out in the middle of the dessert. I honestly thought we were toast as we careered towards some stone bollards but Mohamed kept it under control.
The funny thing was everyone was really pissed off and worried until Richard jumped out and said lightly "well it could be worse, we could be in the middle of nowhere."
After the tyre was changed we drove on. We went back over the High Atlas Mountains. They were tiny little roads, that Mohamed insisted on flying round at high speed to get back in time for his Ramadan breakfast.
We made it in one piece, got some dinner and chilled out in the hostel.
