| Christine takes us for a morning walk to look for stone-age

Wadi Mathkandush
Up to 8000 years old engravings tell us a story when this area must have been much wetter,
we see engravings of elephants, ostriches, antelope, monkeys, and a crocodile.
Nowadays all we could see were lizards.
The people here apparently used ropes slung around heavy "catching stones" for hunting deer. |

| We had missed the sunset... still, we had to climb that hill. |

| Going down was a challenge: I still had my sunglasses on! But I
just had to return later, with tripod and the 5D! |
