The first of two difficult sandy stages is done. It was tough, but we managed to reach almost all the geo challenges. 500km in 16 hours.

The oasis we are in now is said to be beautiful, unfortunately we will not see anything of it: we arrived at 11pm, will leave at 5am tomorrow, and there is no electricity and hence no lights here. Even sat phones don’t work, the oasis is located in a deep canyon without satellite visibility. I am blogging from the entrance of the canyon, about 5km from the camp now.
