THE DESERT IS CLOSE

We are nine in all. For now the team is still one and everything is united. Two days from tomorrow presumably we will divide, because Carla and Fabio will depart from a zone a few kilometers from the oasis of Farafra. The last purchases for Carla and Fabio, but also the last purchases for us, the support team. Food supply and gas for the stove that they will use to make lunch and dinner, and why not, some mint tea for this final departure. For now we don't see unpredictable obstacles for them. Daniele has organized everything perfectly, in fact today we found out that there are four local authorities that will watch out for us during the expedition. Also three off road vehicles that we will take to get to the departure site more efficiently. Today we have crossed 350 km in a very dry climate where the predominate color is beige. Teresa and Max, staying at the office in Milan, waiting for news from us, but we haven't let them down. Also though we are far from them we make sure everything goes as planned. Bight point: we hope to have a good night sleep. And the last night in a true bed: from tomorrow we live in a tent. All most we envy Teresa and Max.....
