Day 1

After a very long day of travelling and not getting in to bed much before 1am, we were up at half 6 to organise our bags, have breakfast and pile into the minibus to head over to the first village called Anzal where we had our first mint tea! highly sugared to indicate the level of hospitality! Luckily it was quite cloudy, the terrain today was very open and had the sun been blazing we would have flaked out with the added travel fatigue i think! The goats were out in force!

First lunch was delicious, as was every meal following it whilst camping. Hussein the cook is a legend. After lunch we all had a mini siesta to let the food go down a bit, all laying bunched together each day from the beginning, like we'd known each other a whole lot longer than a day! It was very cute.

After a very long day, completely exhausted we reached the first camp near the village of Ait Tigga. Daniel [pictured with Amy] had already been a hero several times and our friendship was very much cemented! I've never seen stars like I saw here, millions and millions filling the sky without barely a space in between. No one slept very well due to the damn mules honking right outside our tents all night!
