In the morning we got up at 5.30am to watch the sun rising over Algeria, was way too sore to climb up the huge dune again, so made do with a smaller one to sit on as it was freezing!
We trekked on the camels to the Sahara Auberge where we were staying. I was lovely to have a nap, sunbathe and have a swim in the pool. In the afternoon we went to the village to get some food, but it was pretty much a ghost town, nothing was open apart from a small amount of shops, selling not a lot.
We had a fabulous evening meal, where we also met a belgian guy called Jos, who has kindly offered to take me back to Marrakesh via some other destinations as he had a car on hire.
