Desert Sunset

The sunset from our first bushcamp in the desert, isn't it breathtaking. We have bushcamped for the last two days on the edges of the Taklamakan Desert. The distance was considerable between Turpan and Dunhuang so both were very long days on the road. Yesterday's was longer due to a flat tyre, getting stuck in a sandy graveyard and attempting to find a suitable bushcamp for about an hour. I think the group is a bit tired from all the travelling but we have two days to recuperate here before heading up (literally) to the Tibetan Plain and even more bushcamping.
