Since the last podcast, the world has imploded with coronavirus. Alice and Vic talk about how it is affecting them in Morocco and Norway respectively. Vic faces some real challenges: his wife is almost certain to be infected as she is an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. Alice decided to go back into Morocco from London as that is where her home is and is now dealing with the consequences of that decision...
Alice is in London this week, so she tells us about her cultural shock at being among so many people after weeks of the great nothing. We also talk about her amazing experience with some school children in Liverpool, giving feedback about her expedition gear, hiking in the Atlas Mountains, second breakfast, and, of course, coronavirus complications.
Now south of Bir Gandouz, Alice, the camels, and her team are nearing the end of their trek through the Western Sahara. In this episode, Alice tells us about land mines, Azwo the dog, a boat graveyard, and, of course, being very nearly at the end!!
Now, south of Dahkla, Alice has had a difficult two weeks since last we spoke. Wind, heat, quicksand, and the great nothingness have taken their toll on the expedition. However, Alice and her team have made good progress and are continuing to push on toward their goal.
This week we get to hear about Camel Love, making sand bread, a lonely Mauritanian shepherd, Camel Fighting, sulfurous hot springs, and a wounded donkey.
After 39 days of sand, wind, and sun, Alice sees green grass! We also hear about Saharan hospitality, Christmas in the desert, and camel sweat.
