11th September - The Red Desert

Didnt sleep well last night as JJ was snoring.  Sounded like a Jumbo Jet coming into land every couple of miuntes interspaced with an attempt to strangle himself.  Think JJ might want to do something about it if he meets someone.
We saw someone amazing sites today.  Lakes with Pink flamingos in them.  A red desert full or iron, and a red lagoon.  The lagoon had algae on the top but due to the low temperature and wind it makes it turn red.  The weather at the moment is cold and when we set off this morning it was -5.  Climbed up some rock formations for some good photos with Irena, Paul, and Andrea.
We stayed in another sparse hotel.  The electricity went off at 10.30.
Irena was a hero as she tried to convince JJ not to room with us, but to no avail.  He snored again straight through. Despite me kicking his bed, Julius hitting him with a pillow, and generally us shouting lots he slept through.  As a tour guide not too sure about JJ - not just with the snoring. He bangs on about everything that is crap in his life, and you have to really push him to tell you about the locations.  Hoping he is not the benchmark.  He also said he had had a complaint against him when we first set out.  Hhhhmmm.
On the positives the group are getting on well and we are having lots of fun when JJ is not about.
