We got caught in our
first sandstorm the other night. A wall of sand bellowed towards us, apart from
the lack of a “mummified face” growling after us, it was pretty much just like
the movies. We lost our vision and had to navigate by looking for the side of
the road and surging on (a note to the kiddies: you are supposed to pull over
to the side and wait it out, a note to the grown ups: you are such a pussy if
you pull over – in fact I recommend you don’t drop less than 40). It was a
little surreal to be driving around in this but was an experience I am glad to
have experienced. Who would have thought that scene in the latest Mission
Impossible where they are driving through Dubai during the sandstorm was the
most realistic thing in the movie?
