Well, quite the experience.
First I had to wait 6 hours at the train station because the shipment was behind schedule and it was more important than the passengers (makes sensen).
Then when I finally got on the train, I began to experience the dust...
My god.
Lots of it.
In my eyes, hair, ears, mouth.
In all of my luggage.
12 hours.
BUT it was a lot of fun.
The train was an amazin experience.
Now I am in Atar and tomorrow morning I leave for my camel ride!
