Day 3 Sunday: Geocaching

We weren't offered a lie in for our first morning and were leaving for a hike at 8am. So it was still dark when we woke in our tents after a night of animals calls. There was no chance either of us would be showering in the cold and dark (in the wild) so it was a case of wet wipes to freshen up. Breakfast was on offer and I had some muesli and bread. Impressively, they even had soya milk which made our lives much easier. They seemed very willing to cater for our disorders.

Doug then gave us a few minutes of training using the GPS receiver and sent us on our way. It was an 8km hike but using GPS. We were to find the first coordinates, at which point we would find the next and continue until the end. It was a way to test our ability handling GPS. With the sun only just rising, we headed out into the desert on our own, in awe already at the Martian landscape around us.
