It was a great day and very full. Our guide Karma was great! She made us taste fallafels and cane juice en route to the desert. She listened to our wishes and did not rush us if we wanted to take pictures. The whale cemetery is interesting to see. The jeep ride was great and the magic lake beautiful. I was a little less impressed by the fall.
