Coach moved forward 1 hour without us knowing so a quick breaky, we did manage to have a massive breakfast of everything and were successfully on the coach with Gary, Jeremy, Michaela, & Debs for 08.30 – of course even though we were all on the bus for 08.30 we didn’t move until 09.30. The most eventful, unwelcome and unexpected part of the trip started exactly as we departed….. RAIN!!!!!!! The rain started literally as we pulled away from Oz… Obviously with a near 300km to travel and the fact we were in the Sahara Desert nobody was at all worried…. How foolish we were, ha ha ha…. The rain came down, harder, harder and harder for the entire journey… I emailed this to my mum and sister – (little did I know how much it would all change).
