Excursion 2 - Sunday, 27 January 2019

The water truc takes care of early wake up - even on Sundays.

We start by buying 2 kgs minced camel meat for the midday picnic.  It is in fact dromadaire meat, but everybody says ‘camel’.

  

Within a good half hour we are once again deep into the desert on the mainland side of the lagooon.  Dakhla is in fact situated on a peninsular at the Atlantic Ocean on the Western coastline.

Under an unusual grey sky we all of a sudden arrive at the border of some small ponds with hundreds of tiny fish.  The water is salt and comes (underground) from the ocean.

There, in the middle of nowhere lives a man all alone - apparently a friend of the driver who arranges for him to grill our dromadaire meatballs whilst we sit crosslegged waiting in a very, very hot tent.

A last stop on a beatiful lonely beach

And that was the end of a good excursion
