First half of day was great until we got up to the plateau and all the way here was just flat semi desert for hours, arriving in the dark again around 6:40pm. Got the only hotel in town (€30) , bare bones , tomorrow is another day !
After the sun set the temperature dropped to 12*C and we are at about 1400 meters. So will go to Merzouga tomorrow and the road runs right on the Algerian border for quite a distance. Where are no border crossings for Algeria, they have been closed for over thirty years, so can't go there from here.
