What a party! I have for the past month raving on about a desert experience, not the glamourous or tacky style. But a decent under the stars, visible shape of the mountains by moonlight, the cool breeze in the night and indigenous people. Guess what...I got that experience ten times. I was overwhelmed with emotion as the boys from the dive centre threw themselves into action creating not only amazing food barbecuing the meat, chopping the salads, chopping up wood to sustain the big bonfire to keep us all warm and their usual warm banter and laughter.
The guests such as Anne and Barry from Reading, England were happy to dance ballroom in the moonlight around the bonfire, thorougly entertaining us with their gusto for life! Anne with her usual caustic sense of humour and Barry's deep chuckle ever ready to accompany a funny thought or comment! Superb people.
A group of us decided to sing 'Que sera sera' a song most defining of the moment we were in, because who knows, whatever will be will be!
The boys switched on their cars and plugged in their mobiles to generate the great sounds of arabic music which grabbed our attention and made us all want to dance..albeit we veered off the dance floor soon as the boys showed us up with their teasingly seducing belly hip movements..Phuah!
Rustic, authentic and filled with genuine warmth, laughter, dance and gusto! I have to personally thank Steve and Claire for really organising this experience for me. What I appreciate the most is their genuine ability to relate to the customs of the place and work around it!
Its rare and wonderful.
