Climbing Down The Escarpment


This is coming down from Dourou, where we spent our first night "camping".

Inverted commas as this involved sleeping in a tent on a rooftop. A little bizarre...it's only due to mossies that we bothered with the tents.

Tonight was "Lariam Night" - always good for a bit of excitement.

Needless to say the dry season means dust, dust and more dust. The sun is relentless and while the 34C dry heat is not so bad, we generally would stop for two or three hours in the middle of the day in a small village along the escarpment to escape the worst of the sun...and refresh with a beer and lunch.
