Our moments of weakness and mutters on the endless uphills, the never ending sand tracks and continuous corrugations and tiring long distances were made up for by the beautiful moon rises, the awesome lunar landscapes, exhilarating down hills, wonderful people support and by finally arriving at our comfortable destination...no matter how late, tired or hungry.
