When i see an Elephant towel.

Sometimes its the places you see that make you excited, at other times it is the way that they fold the towels. We got into Huacachina last night and as we walked around the hotel picking our room from a selection i really wanted a downstairs one as it had a towel folded in the shape on an elephant. However, upstairs (with a swan) was a nicer room.

In order to remedy this in my perfect Spanish i wrote a note to our room attendant stating, ´Elephant towels, por favour´. He didn't disappoint, and look at the elephant! I left him a tip and thought that would be the end of it as i couldn't ask for clean towels 2 days running. However, not to be losing out on a tip, he then made a sea turtle out of clean towels, including using my pen and paper to make little black eyes. Brilliant. But not better than the elephant.

We came to Huacachina to try sand boarding, and it didn't disappoint. Living in an oasis in the middle of the sanddunes was amazing! Here is a picture of Xss mucking around at dusk.
