One night of camping in the Valley of the Whales, El Wadi Hitan, is ahead. Stops along the way to pick up dinner and breakfast makings. Rice, potatoes, tomatoes, and a live chicken with only a few more hours to cluck.

The Egyptian Desert is cold during the winter months - a vast understatement. The Park Reserve staff took pity on us and let us sleep inside their souvenir shop. Wind whipped up a small sandstorm as we walk to see 40 million year old whale fossils (video appears tomorrow).

A Fennec Fox comes by during dinner to investigate possiblilities and, you must admit, a night sleeping in the desert does nothing for my appearance:) Please don't forget to Share, Like and Subscribe! Thanks.
