Yes, it’s prettymuch just that. Sorry for getting so excited about sand. And a camel.

But I jest, it’ll be a bit more exciting than just sand. We set off at 12.30 from school and have a 7hour journey down to Erfoud, we stay in a 5* hotel with a swimming pool and jacuzzi (this is not the only reason I’m going, but it does sweeten the deal a bit). The saturday we have until 11 in the hotel chilling, before we head on out to hotel Tomboctou in Merzouga, right in the desert. Another pool = D. At about 5 that evening we will camel ride out to an oasis and watch the sunset. Then we sleep over in a Berber tent, and wake for sunrise before heading back (on camel of course) to the Tomboctou for a bit of breakfast. It’s then a 10hour drive back up to Fes, but it’ll be worth it (and also I’ll sleep, because a night in a tent will not equal good sleeping times for me…funny sleeping-on-the-coach pictures may ensue)

So there we are, welcome to my big adventure.

Incidentally, class today turned out alright, and I actually talked to Mounia, though I still didn’t understand half of what she said. But شوية بشوية I’m getting it. Oh and had another proposal from a taxi driver, he wanted me to go to his house and meet his mum. In the end I surreptitiously slipped a ring onto my ring finger and convinced him I was already married. I hate lying to people, but seriously, I’m just not marrying a taxi driver, no matter what.
