3/7 Different Dunes

I was surprised that we woke up so late, but because the dunes were so high the sun didn't show up until around 8a.  This was good though because sleeping was tough. The ground was very hard.  However, waking up several times during the night surrounded by silky soft white dunes and a million stars is really not a bad nite.   Breakfast was sandy toast, butter, jam, biscuits and tea - quite the indian tourist staple minus the sand of course.  India and Gunpat packed up the camels and we were off.  A note on mounting a camel - it's not easy:)  First thing is you have to swing your leg up and over the hump and packs.  Second, there are no foot holes - at least that we were told of in the first two days.  Third, when the camel stands and sits it is very important that you either lean forward or backward or else your off.  By lunch time, I felt relatively comfortable with the camels but my bum didn't.  I almost thought of leaving with the German girls but decided to tough it out.  In the afternoon, the team was switched.  We met up with two young girls from North Carolina and a young man from Brazil.  After a visit to a watering hole for the camels, we set off to another dune.  Another nite under another million stars ... I was humbled and grateful to say the least;).  Sub kuch tigh hai!
