four hundred photos in a day means you are having nice things. starting at ten o'clock with the camel, with little emotion, my camel and it does not feel like getting up and realize I'm going up, thrown. rapid exchange of camels and camel driver, and restarted. find out later that every camel has his favorite camel, camel and couples do not change because the animals have many likes and dislikes with each other.
the first stop for lunch in tent, after two hours of walking on the sand, across the Erg. We stopped in a deserted village. know two guys from turin, young and cute but they make a mistake: they ask us what we paid for the trip, and they have paid more than double what we paid for us. when we are wrong, but rifaranno return.
after lunch, tea, a cigarette and a stroll among the ruins of the village, continue the walk on the rocky ground and glossy blacks, until you return to the sand to the base of the large dune, where there is the camp . arrive in time to laboriously climb the dune to watch the sunset from up there. the show is unique, first you vde Merzouga, dell'antiatlante the lake and mountains with the sun setting behind you, on the other hand, over the dunes, the desert surrounded by mountains that mark the border with Algeria.
each tent has a rug and a coffee table in front, like a small veranda. Omar the camel serves us dinner there, the usual chicken tajine whose goodness is a certainty in the desert. omar then lights a fire in a pit with wood that had gathered around the village for lunch. call me, we sit down to talk and slowly the others arrive camel and other tourists. There are German, American, Indian and English. Gramelot we are talking about a fun and effective, we begin and end sentences in French in English, with Italian words and English nel mezzo, per conlcudere con l'immancabile insciallah. i cammellieri parlano quasi ogni lingua, in preferenza francese e spagnolo. la serata scorre tranquilla raccontandoci barzellette e ascoltando i racconti dei cammellieri berberi. sono tutti giovanissimi, sembrano contenti del loro lavoro.
andiamo a dormire presto perhcé domattina ci dovremo alzare presto, la luna è quasi piena e nasconde le stelle, i sacchi a pelo sono anche troppo caldi manel complesso si sta davvero bene.
omar ci sveglia alle cinque, giusto il tempo di raccogliere i sacchi a pelo e lavarci i denti, e si riparte. facciamo tappa dopo un'oretta su una duna a vedere l'alba, mentre il resto dell'accampamento si sta svegliando. noi siamo partiti per primi, intorno a noi there is no one, Omar was also perfect to let us know so early, and sits next to us to see the sun rise, it seems to capture a moment of sadness in his eyes that also see these sunrises every week. the silence is broken only by the flutter of sparrows who enjoy the latest cool before it is too broad daylight.
when we get to the hotel and go down from the camel for breakfast, I have a feeling that my ass has never been so happy.
