Just a stop over - Blogabond

When we dropped him off at the garage in Laayoune we had decided to give him a pack of our playing cards with 50d and note saying shukran (thank you in Arabic) tucked away in it. He refused at first but we had insisted because although he hadn't taken us very far, he hadn't asked for anything and was really kind to us. Once he went we drove off to a quiet street and parked up for the night.

Aziz was luckily in convoy with another lorry, which was driven by a lovely little man called Habib. This meant that we could sleep in the trucks but unfortunately not the same one. Aziz told Ben to go to Habib's truck and that was it. We were both pretty weary about leaving the other alone especially when Kat had to be lifted up into the top bunk by the big guy and be kissed on the cheek by him as a goodnight gesture. Ben didn't sleep that well for fearing the worst whilst Kat slept like a log with the long day having taken its toll on her. Both looking a bit disheveled by morning as we were reunited and set off for our journey to Daklha.
