Day 46: Sandboarding

We took a sand buggy from the hotel up into the sand dunes with apparently the towns craziest driver, I don't think we quite expected him to be THAT mad though and we were seriously almost thrown out of our seats as he flew over the dunes at a ridiculous speed. Anyway after having swallowed almost the entire sand dune, we stopped and began to try sand boarding. Our first trial run involved lying on your tummy on the board and going down head first, swallowing even more sand (not that that was even really possible) and then progressed onto actually standing up. Falling over on sand is actually a lot more painful than you would think and we ended up with really bruised bums this evening. We finished off watching another amazing sunset and then a crazy ride back to the town thoroughly covered in sand.
