This one along with two companions stood in the middle of a very desolate landscape as we drove towards the coast.

No pit stops possible along the way then? :-P Ouch!
It was a lot worse for our driver. Such a long and monotonous drive!
I meant no places to hide behind if you needed to take a leak! Only for the ladies....:-P
