September 28th
154km (250m vertical)
Unremarkable day today. Flat road through the desert with nothing much to see. We did get a tailwind after lunch, which made the kilometers tick past more quickly.
We passed through a few little one-street towns, which are full of life in start contrast to the still of the desert. There were Sunday markets on, and big trucks, small trucks, scooters and donkey carts all darted in every direction. Traffic here really is crazy, and its only going to get worse.
Camp tonight is in a cattle farm. I set up my tent in an empty concrete hay storage bunker.
Not an exciting photo, I realise, but this is pretty much the view we had all day:
Modern camels of the desert, these trucks are piled well above their intended truck beds...and we've seen several turned over on the road:

Signs that we are still in a Muslim area:
