True, sunsets are gorgeous. Libation in hand, quiet evenings, good company: it’s a wonderful time. Meanwhile, sunrises, though often gorgeous, depends upon timing. Sunrise at Merzouga Dunes is 6:59 am. This is a reasonable time to get a cup of coffee and watch the sun come up.
”Morning’s Glory” was a bit weak. However, the early camel trains coming over the hill and heading west made the rise worth it.
After breakfast, we board our 4×4 vans, camels still chewing in their sleep I suppose, and caravan across the barren desert to meet our bus.
This morning, I am moving – slowly. Food has little appeal. I head for our bus. The day’s itinerary leaves no room for laggards. The drive will be long but broken up by several interesting stops. As Bette said: “Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.”
