The landscape was mostly bare sand and scrub, with the occasional trees |

|
Small herds of cattle and a group of ladies ..... |

|
..... doing their clothes washing |

|
A few tiny settlements could be seen, mostly at a great distance from the road |

Heaving on a long iron bar was necessary to deal with the wheel nuts before being able to replace the punctured tyre .. as darkness was beginning to fall. |
