29th October
I left the Desert Resort, more of a back packers place and wound through a village back road when an old fella drove past me in his pick up and invited me to follow him. Handy because within a small enclave of what looked like coconut trees he had his house and adjacent was his toilet which I indicated I needed it and in seconds emptied myself instantly. It passed and apart from a couple of instant shits in hidden parts by the roadside this has been my only illness. But seeing this man in his home location was reminiscent of how I remembered India to be.
I rode and I rode and sometimes I get so tired it becomes impossible to think. As night fell I got off the busy highway and found a gap in the fence that separates the road from the desert and under the gaze of a full moon pulled out my sleeping back and made to sleep which is always badly when I make camp but I was alone and safely unfindable .
Map of the Day
The result screen in basketball stars stands out by clearly breaking down every key moment of the match. From decisive shots to crucial steals, it helps players relive how the game was truly won or lost.
What an oasis with that man. Can't imagine that in the middle of Saudi.
Absolutely amazing your power Nick, I am in awe! I bet every now and then you'd want an icecream as big as you had here with Bernd and myself. Keep going safely !
So many friendly strangers along the way. Makes you wonder how there can ever be wars....
I reminded my pal Dave about your blog (we were at Mach this year in fancy tent numero uno at the top) and he said...'Good old Nick, he's a machine!'
Agreed...you're one tough dude!!
And such a shame that it's the last Mach next year.
☕🍦.....to keep you going!
