UAE again 🙂

After last nights sandstorm palaver last night i had to do a lot of cleaning. Luckily i had closed sll my bags so minimal sand infiltrated. But i gave each a good shake to get rid of excess. Thrn i turned the tent upside down and shho out all the sand.

Smooth riding all day. Flat, but the temperature certainly is getting hotter and i notice it more every day. Definitely the very early set off is best.

I booked my hopefully last hotel. Close to the border. As i got nearer the border i just fired up Google maps to check the route and Google directed me on a 90km round trip to a different crossing. I was nervous, but i carried on, no other cars were going my way. But low and behold they looked at my passport and let me through.

I changed what Oman Riyals into AED.

My hotel was of course/at the top of a hill and as the sun hit close to its zenith i started to climb. I kept going as long as i could but 1km from the top i cracked and stood for 5 or 10 minutes. Then rode on to the top. I was reception staff were patient and helpful.
