A Day in Gialo,


Refer to the red spot.



So, Now you know where am hiding or would be. Yes I have been to Jalo for one day trip. The trip commenced from NC-163 point heading east to Jalo city. was around 40 km from where I am now which is OMV field near 103 Alpha. I can only describe the way as dusty and so sandy but nothing impossible for the 2010 V-8 Land Cruiser Toyota. Carsten (My German Coleague) could not resist not to drive all the way to Jalo city. "Ali, People tend to pay fortune to what I am doing for free now, I love driving off-road" he said. I could see how much he enjoyed driving it but didnt enjoy seeing him almost making an accedent in an empty desert. There was a pile of sand and i was surprised that Carsten couldn't see it. I shouted "Look out man" I glanced at the dash-board and there where I holded any thing I can make good grib on. ** KM/H is not giving me any confidence that he will succeed controlling it. Carsten is still slow in his response and what to do, "slow down and go to your left gently" Calmly he started to respond with ease. Toyota is amazing car if the driver knows what to do. Anyway he succeded in controlling the situation and we had to stop at the pile and we both been thankful to Allah that we were ok this time.
We continued our trip, and we arrived Jalo quite late , Carsten head to a safety boots shop and he bought 4, he tried to locate one for his cousine back home but no chance coz he couldnt find the size he wanted.

Then we head to a super market and bought loads of choclate of many brands, (Gardena Black, Gardena white, Kitkats, Mars, Snickers and some tea biscuits.
I had no chance to go to a hair dresser because we were Late and then we decided to head back to our Base. The following day we had a BBQ party before I head back to Tripoli the day after.
