This Ain't Yo Mama's kind of Vacation!
While in Morocco, a friend of mine came over from Canada. Jeff arrived at the airport with literally 2 weeks of vacation and a list of things he wanted to do and places he wanted to go as long as Noah's packing list!
You name it, he wanted to do it! In the end, we decided to take the 3 Day Sahara Desert Expedition because we could cover more ground in a shorter period of time.
As you probably wouldn't expect, this is REALLY what most of the Sahara Desert looks like: flat, rocky and covered in plastic shopping bags. (There is an indian crying over this somewhere I am sure)
Over 3 days we covered a lot of terrain, packed into a minivan with nine other people. Our driver was a man of few words but we loved him regardless, come to think of it I don't even know if he told us his name, although we never asked so I can't really complain.
Our group included a funky French lady who had her twelve year old daughter in tow: Lydia et Diane
Three Japanese guys, Takeshi, Takanori, and Akihiro (though we think Takanori and Akihiro might have been a couple!)
Here is Takeshi and our accompanied Pole Krzysztof who snored like a camel...(see white t-shirt)
Megan and Delphine were a couple of cool chycks over from London, although Delphine was from France and Megan was from Toronto. No pics of them but that is reasonable considering Delphine wasn't too well the first 2 days of our 3 day journey!
And of course Jeff...
and myself...
In all we had a great time, and saw all manner of landscape in 3 days, albeit from the inside of a bus!
over the mountains...
past old desert fortresses...
through green valleys...
We basically agreed it was the smartest way to travel we could have gone!
All in all, a 5 out of 5!
Except for the Camel snoring Pole!
