John tilted his head and continued "it wasn't a bad place, hot like you wouldn't believe, like you've been stoking the fire on the train but it only drops a little at night with the heat, our camp was exactly that.....a camp with white bell tents, tented mess and everything else" he thought for a moment "but there's almost a beauty to it all da. Its like a fairytale in a way. Its like you picture it with tribesmen, camels, desert caravans etc" he paused for a moment "im glad i had the chance to go and see it. Same with Egypt"
