Upon waking all we could think of was what was ahead. We prepared ourselves eagerly and waited at the camp gates in anticipation for our ride. We were aware of the difficulty finding our campsite (turn left 5 times) but became concerned as we were still left standing 20minutes after the allocated pickup time. Finally our ride arrived and from the 4wd stepped our guide, Mohammed in his Berber poncho and his genuine smile. As we squeezed into the car we were met with anxious faces and glowing smiles from a family of four Americans who we were about to embark on a journey with.
