... or in a river and leave them to dry on the hot rocks in the sun...
... you drive Peugeots from the '70's, and they tend to break down. A LOT...
... so what should be 8 hour trips through the desert, end up being 20 hours...
... but you meet a lot of fascinating people along the way...

... and you wonder why I say that this is the most amazing country in the world???
