Into The Gobi Desert

---

Hi All,
Wow! Those are some dunes!
A quick bus ride to the outskirts of Dunhuang and the desert appears at the end of the road. It is beautiful how the oasis town ends and the desert begins.
Once inside there are a multitude of activities including helicopter and microlight flights , quad bikes, sand sliding, go karting and camel rides. We stuck with the camels. I have riden camels before and I forgot how uncomfortable it is! After we got off we climbed to the top of the dunes to see the dunes and to see the sand disappear into the distance, really beautiful. In the park is a small lake and a temple which make for a wonderful vista from the top of the dunes..
Once it got to 1 o'clock we made a retreat back to the hotel out of the scorching sunshine.
All in all we have had a great time here in Dunhuang.

Enjoy the photos

Jah Bless
