Going into the Sahara Desert was an amazing experience. The scenery is very beautiful, extremely colourful, bright oranges, browns, greys and the occasional greens in the oases; quite spell-binding and full of contrasts…a memorable journey with an expert guide and host in Edwina who has spent years discovering these hidden gems. Thank you Edwina – there is so much more to come.


This has been one of my few opportunities for an internet connection, so will write more next time; now we are off to dinner in Toul. We leave the canals of France tomorrow for Praiano,Positano and Amalfi, Italy.
