En Route to the Sahara Desert

When I get to my next internet I will properly add some text to these photos. Long story short I headed to the desert the other day and had to ride a bus for 2 days with some sights along the way. Here is some coverage.


The roads went through the High Atlas Mountains at the beginning and all looked like this.

The landscapes were all epic.

En route we also stopped at a gorge that had fresh, cold water running through it. This was a great way to cool off after being on a bus with no AC for hours on end.


I also visited the town where the first arena scene in Gladiator was shot.


Before getting on the camels we did get one bit of luxury and got the chance to spend an hour at a pool before heading off on camel back.

BUS RIDES ARE AWESOME!!!

Resistencia, Argentina to Arica, Chile is a blast by bus. I headed out Saturday at 6:00 PM and made it to Arica at 6:00am Monday morning. It started with a 11.5 hour bus from Resistencia to Salta, Argentina. I then purchased a ticket with a connection from Salta to Calamas, Chile with a 2 hour layover and then another bus from Calamas to Arica.

I apologize if none of that made sense but I have spent about 36 hours straight on 3 different buses. Needless to say, I am taking a night off before starting up again.

I have purchased a ticket back to the US from Lima Peru on the 12th of November and I am working my way there via bus.

Now I am in Arica Chile and hoping to take in a beach day

here are some pics from the road.
