We arrived yesterday afternoon after what can only be described as a bizarre day. Even though we had serious car issues and a nightmarish border crossing our mood was pure joy and excitement. For 3 nights we have convoyed with Tom and Joe: Australians, team Ball Sac Men.
I am sitting in the courtyard of our hotel. An 18th century villa that was a gift to the emir. Nobody is up yet. I am enjoying the solitude and spaciousness of this moment.
Staff is setting up a table for breakfast which will be eaten in the courtyard. This is where we had dinner too. Under the stars. Warm. No lighting except for the niches. The birds that were twittering in the grape arbor earlier left us in silence. Awesome salads, stuffed baked peppers, bread and a large bowl of fruit. Beer. Perfect.
I will enjoy this peace now before we start working in the car and figuring out if our problems are solveable. No fiats here so parts are an issue.
